Not even a week into my new resolve; training, blogging etc. and I've already been thrown off track. Started with really sore ankles from my exertions of the previous weekend. I had to avoid crossfit Monday and Tuesday because double-unders and box-jumps were on the menu and there was just no way. I rode the 'Buckhead Belly-Ache' on Tuesday night with friends and it was a lot of fun. Wednesday had a fun crossfit workout and performed pretty well. Swim workout Wednesday night was also good. Then BAM! Middle of the night I was woken up with such neck pain that I practically levitated out of my bed.
So a chiropractor visit, many ice packs and my new favourite medicine, ibu-grigio, later I'm trying to take it easy. I really had to force myself not to spin tonight. It wasn't easy. It is taking a lot of discipline to rest but I know I must. A couple of missed workouts this week won't ruin my race; longer term injury and weeks off later will.

Ironman Canada - August 26th 2012
Not sure exactly what the countdown is at this point. Perhaps I'm blocking it out?
Last year I was one of the lucky few who was able to secure a slot in the race through online registration. I was at a pretty low point personally. But, not being one to wallow I thought about when was the last time that I was really happy? Well, it had been during Ironman Florida of course! So didn't it make sense to sign up for another one?
Once again my training has been a bit of a mish-mash, but this time I'm not even getting training plans to ignore from a coach. ;-) I've become very addicted to Crossfit during the past year and am trying to do training that integrates with what is going on at the Crossfit box. There is a program called Crossfit Endurance that I've tried to study but can't quite figure out. Maybe I'll give it more of a go in the next 8-9 weeks.
And maybe I'll blog about it to. I log all of my workouts, races and general physical activity in the calendar to the right. If anyone is listening and has feedback I'm all ears.
