A Full Plate!

I was looking at my schedule for the summer and realized I have a busy next few weeks:

Sat May 23rd: Mt Wilson Trail Race 1:46 1 down 4 to go

Sat May 30th: OC Duathlon 2:25 I had some really bad cramping, I need to work on my nutrition on race day

Sat June 6th: Camp P. Mud Run 1:10 Got a late start and something of an extended warm up but had a great time. Cant wait till next week, hope to go sub 1:05 and based on the slow downs we had I dont think that will be too tough.

Sat June 13th: Camp P. Mud Run 1:01 I got to the starting line and was able to run the whole thing. I had to slow down going up the hill a few times and could really feel some fatigue in my legs but I felt good. Glad those 2 are done but cant wait till next year. I plan on doing it at least twice (maybe 3 times) including one B&U's.

Sat June 20th: San Diego City Chase The City Chase was one of the most fun things I have ever done. It was similar to the last Pioneer run I did with TCA but on a larger level with some great checkpoints (and some not so great ones). I will do a better write up when I get the pictures sent over but I could not recommend this race enough. I will defiantly do it again next year.

Then a couple of free weeks followed
July 10th-12th: Crossfit Games 2009
Sat July 18th: Crossfit Nutrition Cert
Friday July 24th: Every Second Counts Premier
Sat Aug 8th: Camp P. Spring Triathlon?

I may add more but I am not sure where. I would like to do a couple of Olympic Distance Tri's as well but I will have to see how the shoulder does and when I can get in a pool.

Its going to be a fun summer.

The Road Back Again

I have been away for a while, I apologize but I have been working hard and trying not to screw up my shoulder rehab but I am close. I can do most things without pain, including pull-ups which were totally impossible just a few weeks ago.

I have had a couple of Pr's on the C2:
2K 7:20
5K 19:24

I also Pr'd Michael a few weeks ago by 25 seconds so I have not lost it. I am still about 2 weeks from really starting to lift but its close I can feel it.

Tomorrow will be a good test. I will have the OG No Name Gym crew at the Academy so my little speal about taking it easy might have to wait till Saturday.

I have also been doing some Long Slow Duration (LSD) stuff which sucks but is a necesary evil

I did the MWTR course about 3 weeks ago in 1:42. looking forward to the race! I have also signed up for a City Chase with a buddy. Team Jimmy Jam will crush it.
