Typical Day

Ok I need to give you some details on the people I train with as well as provide you with a sample day of training. First I am a member of (MSM)Multi Sport Madness which is a triathlon club. (as a quick side note there is a MSMKIDS which has world and national champions on their team, It is always very humbling when you get passed on your bike by a 14 year old. Keith Dickson is the director of the club and has produced some excellent athletes.) OK back to MSM, Danny Delgado is the president (aka Del Taco) excellent elite athlete he has built the club to 100 members. Then there is Andy Wellman (aka Powder) all of these people that I am naming here are much faster than I am. Jim Vidmich (aka …) Jim is only a roadie but anytime you need to ride for 7 hours he will go with you. Adam Zucco (aka the head coach of Training Bible), Mark and Sue Dziuban (no aka) Carla Hastert(aka MY COACH) and about 10 others that I am constantly training with Michelle (aka LOLA , weather girl) Ryan (aka Sam Adams) Jason (aka Marine bad ass) DR Ted (aka cannot diclose in this forum). Anyhow my average morning I will rise by 4 am I always enjoy coffee prior to a workout. Every wednesday we do a 25 mile bike ride at 515am on any given morning there will be 15-25 people riding. We will do an easy 5 mile warmup then a 14 mile time trial. The time trial is basically riding as hard as you can with the goal of making the second half stronger than the first half. Personally I will fall towards the middle of the pack ( I have been getting closer to the front) and my average speed on this will be 23mph for the 14 miles. After the bike sometimes Coach Carla, just to cause more pain will have me run for 20 or 30 minutes. If Danny says lets do coffee sometimes I will skip the run. Then it is off to home to help with Kids, get ready for work and breakfast!!. I get to work by 9 and then I leave at 11am for a 1130 to 1215 swim. My swimming is pretty good COMPARED TO A ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!! Then for the most part I am done till Thursday. So Wednesday is a little bit light with only 2 hours and 15 minutes of training or slightly more if COACH CARLA is in a bad mood
