Race Line Up

Ok so I planned on writing in this while I was on holidays over Christmas and have been awful with keeping up. I am going to try to improve but this is what has been up over the past couple of months:

1. Rocking it out in the pool every Tuesday with Nepean Masters and am seeing some improvements, also getting in a swim on Thursdays and Sundays during lane swim time.
2. Loving the OTC cast iron program with the bikes, strength and run training. Now that we are up to long runs and long rides we are no longer doing the strength component as part of our session. 
3. I am seeing a naturopathic doctor to help with dietary issues but also to help with energy for training and it is going really well. I have now lost some weight (still a bit to go) but I no longer fall under the Athena category for races...yeah :) I also have a lot more energy for training, and the recovery time after hard runs/rides is minimal.
4. After posting on the OTC wall about half ironman training I had one of the OTC coaches contact me personally and has been working with me to set up a realistic training plan that revolves around hockey. Since time for training is a bit of an issue I am not looking for an outstanding race at Tremblant, especially with my new understanding of some of the hills, however I want to have as strong a race as possible. 
5. What is the race calendar looking like so far: a) "Day before Mother's Day" Long Duathlon May 12th. b) Half marathon at the Ottawa Race Weekend c) Ottawa River Tri (sprint distance) June 9th d) Tremblant 70.3 June 24th. Afterwards we (Ian and I) are seriously considering the Canadian 113 in Ottawa Sept 1st and the Army half marathon Sept 23rd. In between we may sign up for some shorter distances last minute depending on schedule.

Ok I think that sums up what has been happening overall. I will try to improve my consistency in these posting.

Cheers.
