http://billythekidtriathlete.com/blog Just another WordPress weblog Sun, 22 Jan 2012 15:16:04 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en This was already posted in the Rundown, the newsletter of the Tidewater Striders. I figured I would share it with my other friends. It's been five weeks since the 50k and it's two weeks until I really kick off my 2012 campaign at the SurfCity Half Marathon. This is a ... http://billythekidtriathlete.com/blog/updates/seashore-50k-and-how-it-all-started/ Maxfield, Ricci, other Navy folks and harrassers, this is dedicated to you... First of all, I really need to be moving this website along and addressing some sponsorship and scheduling updates.  Hopefully that will all occur before I go and crush IM CDA, which is the next thing on my horizon. Sponsorship ... http://billythekidtriathlete.com/blog/updates/so-much-to-say-and-i-should-be-in-bed/ I look forward to very few days out of the year.  I really don't even enjoy my own birthday as much as I do November 10th and the birthday of the United States Marine Corps.  I think most of it has to do with being proud of serving in an ... http://billythekidtriathlete.com/blog/updates/doing-more-with-less-happy-birthday-marine-corps/ Yesterday, I rode 400k, four hundred kilometers (or about 250 miles). Ok, for those in semi-shock for my apparent idiocy, let's put this in perspective.  Yes, I did do IM Placid last weekend and IM CDA five weeks ago.  Yes, I am still planning on an ironman or two before the ... http://billythekidtriathlete.com/blog/updates/holy-expletive-you-are-a-fill-in-the-blank-why/ It has now been about six days since I gutted out another ironman.  When I look big picture, I can tell you that was my second worst performance EVER! Should I really be whining. I went 9:45:55 with a 70 min swim, a 5:10 bike and a 3:18 run.  When ... http://billythekidtriathlete.com/blog/updates/post-placid-thoughts/ If you read below or spoke to me in the last 10 days, you know I am not pleased with my performance at Ironman CDA.  Although it was a really fun weekend and I had the best support that one could hope for at an ironman, I fell short of ... http://billythekidtriathlete.com/blog/updates/4-weeks-between-an-ironman/ It's been awhile since I wrote a long race report, but figured I had to explain my happiness with my continued average performances.  For perspective, I am at Calypso in downtown CDA being subjected to some really, really bad coffee house music.  Nice people at the shop, but a guy ... http://billythekidtriathlete.com/blog/updates/im-cda-report/ 'Twas the night before Collegiate Nationals, and I wish I could rhyme; but it wouldn't be worth it, and I haven't the time. Seriously, I am staring straight into another awesome day for the Naval Academy triathlon team.  I have been having a hard time sleeping leading up to this race (a ... http://billythekidtriathlete.com/blog/updates/twas-the-night-before/ I am now four days removed from the official week of spring break that was spent with the Naval Academy Triathlon Team.  It has taken me a couple days to recover.  It has nothing to do with what might put the ordinary spring breaker down, as I had none of ... http://billythekidtriathlete.com/blog/updates/spring-break-2010/  Fridays are pretty good for me, I swim and run early in the day and do some gym work. However, over the last two weeks I have had to substitute PT time for gym time due to a tight IT band nagging my hip. I have successfully been receiving relief ... http://billythekidtriathlete.com/blog/updates/good-job-you-are-doing-great/
