Weekly update

I spent most of yesterday at the Carolina 10 track and field conference championship meet in Pittsboro.  Today I am happy to have nothing to do except sit at my computer and do computer-coaching-work.  It was sort of an exhausting day.  The spring season has been demanding but we are winding that down.  A lot of my runners had great races and set PRs which is always good to be part of.  Next up is the 1A Regional Champ meet on May 14.

This Saturday I'm racing the White Lake Half.  Temperatures & conditions are going to be pleasant which is great, one less thing to worry about.

You can livetrack my race here if you are interested.  Bib number 8.

I am shooting for 4:30 +/- 5 minutes depending on how the day goes. Something like 26 swim, 2:25 bike, 1:35 run.  The best day possible would be 25 swim, 2:20 bike, 1:30 run.

Bri and I will host a sprint strategy clinic Saturday at 5pm at the FAA Center @ White Lake if you are in the area.

That is all.  Have a nice weekend.

Update slacker

Life has been moving at warp speed recently.  Track and field coaching is keeping me on my toes, the Masters swim team is growing, and I am doing my best to fit some of my own training into the whole thing while also having fun with Bri and Tassie.

Tonight I watched a number of the high school athletes perform lifetime bests and a couple broke school records, which was a lot of fun.  They have been working hard and the work is starting to pay off. There is a lot less complaining about training in workouts.

Amazingly, the kids who attend the most practices are also improving the most.  Who would have thought it?

In upcoming news, we are hosting our next Powerstroke clinic this Saturday.  We're also planning to run the Umstead 4 miler with Tassie prior to that but the weather is questionable.

Training for White Lake Half is going well, I have been getting good bike mileage in although it is not all super organized.  I leave that to my athletes.

That is all.
