1st race of the season locked and loaded...

I'll be heading to California for a graduation and so I figured this would also be a good opportunity to kick off the triathlon season with something outside of the exciting Midwest. I'll be starting off with the LA Triathlon. It's going to be held in San Dimas, CA which is 2 hours away from where I will be.

It's still debatable on whether or not I will be renting or flying out my bike but non-the-less I will have a bike there.. maybe a 40k on a beach cruiser would help prepare me for my Xterra Tri's.

Up and down work out regimen not good :(

So it's been a while since I've posted anything new on my athletic blog. I figure it was time... being that I was recently hit with a random allergy to seasonal cold virus that knocked me out the whole week.

So to say the least I've taken this week to kick back and be miserable with my cold that had mix of sinus pressure and random moments of fatigue. Oddly enough the fatigue was mostly during work as opposed to when I got out of work my energy levels rose back up....hmmm... possible allergy to work would be my conclusion :)

This past week I also became the new owner of an old vintage bike... and this time the bike was a motorcycle. I purchased a 1979 10th Anniversary CB750K which you can check out on my other blog.

I've been working on getting the title straightened out with that as well as evaluating what I should do with the bike as far as repairs are concerned.

Anyways, enough about my motorcycle... this blog is all about health, wellness and winning at races right?

So this coming week its back to the gym and track.... I'll be getting ready for my first triathlon in May which will be in LA right after one a graduation which I will be attending for my cousin.

I hope sooner than later that I can score a team from a teammate.

This year Team Get-a-Grip will be using Black and Green CAAD9 frames from Cannondale.

These bikes are awesome and are mainly known for the weight advantage, stiffness, and uber responsiveness to the engine...me....

Here is an image of team frame!



Although this engine (me) needs a tweak I know I'm much better than where I was last year...

More to come with a game plan for the next coming weeks!
