I started the year off in January, planning to do tri's with a bike race thrown in here and there, maybe a running race or 2. Completely planned the tri schedule. Right away my disdain for the pool reared it's ugly head. I don't hate much more than I do a cold pool at 5:30 am by myself or maybe another person. It's lonely, boring and effin' cold. I hate that damn black line.

So I just kept running with the Track team(which I coach the distance guys) and riding on the trainer 2 or 3 times a week. Running was going really good for a while. In pretty decent shape, not as good as last summer before cross, but good.

The end of Feb, I purchased a powertap. With that I had some renewed motivation for the bike. Had a good week of training and BLAMO! Got hit with a bad cold/sinus infection that smoked me for a month. No training whatsoever.

April came and I decided as far tri's go, I was done for this year. As bad as I am at swimming and no swim training to date combined with my hatred of the water, done. I started hitting some decent training on the bike. Semi-consistent. Running was about the same.

May - the running training went down. Cycling picked up big time. Got in 3 races(reports above). Started really enjoying the bike!! Running is now on the back burner. This is going to be the summer of the bike.
