It has felt good to be back training again, although it's really just getting the body moving again. December will be a gradual build up, prepping the body for the real work to begin after the first of the year. I am back doing some resistance training again, by the way of suspension ropes. This is one of the best ways out there for triathletes to incorporate sport specific movements into their resistance/core training. The best thing about these ropes is that you can do the workout anywhere. Every exercise forces you to use your core in one way or another and you are always working those little stabilizer muscles that often times get neglected when doing traditional weight training.
I have another sponsor to add after meeting with Erica from Essential Wellness. This is something I'm very excited about and know it is going to help me raise my triathlon game to a higher level. Erica focuses mainly on manual therapy, but they also have a nutritionist, chiropractor, yoga/psychologist, and more. I will be keeping a journal of how these different sessions are helping me get the most out of my body and mind as the 2010 season progresses. There will be a link to the journal up soon on their website. This is definitely going to be a weapon I have that most age groupers do not!
Joel and I's winter cycling workshop is starting this Wednesday. It's going to be a lot of fun helping these people reach their goals. Unfortunately, we have sold out the first session...but there is room in the 2nd one so if you're in the Hampton Roads area and are interested shoot me an email. Don't get left behind, as the people attending this workshop are going to be flying by the competition in 2010!
I'm also excited to get some really hands on swim coaching next week. I've heard a lot of good things about Juliet Adams and her swim instruction. We're going to be doing some underwater video taping next week and hopefully correcting a few flaws with my swim stroke. Now is the time to do these sort of things so shoot her an email if you're looking to improve your swim: strokefocus@gmail.com
It's hard to believe it's already December. Before long Rachel and I will be home to Michigan for Christmas. I can't wait to get out and x-country ski. I'm excited to see my whole family, but especially my little brother and sister. I like it out here in VA Beach, but I hate not seeing them grow up. No worries though as we are going to see them quite a bit in the next year.
I'm picking up my first 2010 bike build from Final Kick tommorrow. It's always nice seeing the new features and paint schemes of the Cervelo's up close. They are having quite the holiday sales right now so stop by and see them!
