Week 14 - Too Much Fun, but Week 13 will be no fun

Week 13 is not off to a good start. Today in the pool not only did a wave of water get forced down my throat, I wasn’t paying attention during the backstroke and hit my head on the wall. Oops.

Perhaps this is a sign that I should stop having fun and really concentrate on Ironman Training.

I don’t go out much but when I do, it wrecks havoc on my training plan.

Saturday night I attended a concert in Grand Lake. I love live music but staying up late isn’t in the plan. I got home at 11:30pm and it seemed all downhill from there (literally)

Sunday I overslept and got to work without doing the bike workout for 2 hours.

My buddy Kevin called to ski last day at SolVista and my boss let me leave work.

It was a perfect last day of skiing: the sun was out, the beer was flowing, and the snow conditions were perfect.

Here's me in the terrain park:


For every three trails we skied, we stopped in at Seven Trails for a delicious Seven Trails Ale (aka very fattening microbrew). We sat on the deck and laughed and drank beer. A great afternoon.















However, I didn’t bike, nor did I swim. I slept 10 hours and almost didn’t get a swim in this morning. But then when I did swim, I probably shouldn’t have (see first part of post above).

But I’m back on track and decided that I’m not drinking alcohol anymore; or at least until June 22. And definitely no more fun.
