Fitzy Plan begins...24 weeks and COUNTING!!!
Well my ripped ladies,
According to my calculations, we begin the Fitzy plan for the remaining 24 weeks of our triathlon training. Am I right...or am I right? 24 weeks! Jeez - we're 1/3 of the way done with it! So, I was looking at the workout plans that Shef sent out and I'm already excited. It's less time than the other program I was using before and I'm glad to start focusing on some higher intensity, but shorter workouts. 8 weeks of base training before we move into the build phase. But let's not get carried away here...one day at a time and today is REST DAY! Now that is sure a nice way to make Mondays a little nicer. :)
So here is my question I'd like to pose. The workouts, especially this week, aren't very long so if there is a 30 min swim and a 40 min bike, I'd like to do it all at once. And I think we're supposed to do the "all at once" sessions on the weekends, too. So if it is listed "swimming" and then "running." Do we do it in that order? Or can we run and then swim? I'm sure it's not a HUGE difference overall. But the part of me that doesnt want to be wet and then put on running clothes would prefer to end with swimming. But the part of me that is thinking, "swimming comes first so it would be better to use those muscles and then practice the rest of it because it'll be similar to race day" thinks I should swim first and then do the run/bike. So - suggestions?! What are you guys planning on doing?
And who is judging the photos? I'm pretty impressed with all of them here.
And I'm also glad someone else will be doing the same training program...maybe that will make it less lonely. Goll, those bikes can be brutal. COME ON SNOW...MELT!!!
Tri me,
jill :)

Can I still do a picture?
Sorry guys! I was in Ohio for the past weekish living at a retirement home for a little bit with my grandparents...so was unable to take a pic! I don't have to be in the judging, but I may do one this weekend just for fun :) Jill...I love the ice cream pic. The funny thing is, I could see you really doing that! And Shef...look at those GUNS! Woweee!
So guess what. I gots ANOTHER stress fracture! This is the 4th one I've had in my hip :( And I wasn't even running that much. UGH. Welp, it's to the bike and the pool for me for a little while.
Hope all is well with you guys! and i'll get the pic posted this weekend :)

Ouch
So...I was trying to bench Jake and he was going to help me with this picture. But, I mean, once he grabbed the beer and ice cream, he was just too heavy. He squished me. I may seriously have a black eye tomorrow because he smashed my goggles into my face and clearly wasn't in a hurry to get up when I was screaming, "OUCH OUCH OUCH!!!" And this ended the photo shoot. :)
