Workout Notes 2010 Week 6
This is the penultimate week of circuit training! Yea!
Wednesday, I had to hustle to get my run in before the rain started. Got some drizzle for the last 20 minutes. Not bad. Thursday Circuits were similar, it was kind of drizzling the whole time.
Friday I joined Ron and some of his buddies for the "Friday Long Swim" as he put it. I managed to survive the 4000 meters, which is my longest swim ever, with not too many problems. On the good side its nice to be swimming in a group. One the down side, I think this group of Ironman athletes are all much younger than I am!
It was another cold Saturday, and after Friday's swim I was not sure how my long run would go. But in fact, I ran faster than the last two weeks and overall felt pretty good.
TZ bought a new bike and was really anxious to ride it on Sunday. Again, it was pretty cold, but I bundled up and we did 45 miles out to McKinney Airport the long way over Lake Lavon. Nice. How cold was it? Three hours later, my non-insulated water bottle still had ice in it!

January Workouts
November and December were really tough months with too many rest days, sick days, and generally being splattered. I was determined to reset the program in January. I was able to get all my planned workouts in and I had no days off! Fabulous!
Also this looks like my most productive January in the last four years.
Swimming is much more consistent compared to November and December.
Bike is way off due mostly to it being really, really cold this Jan!
First Week of January
Run - 15.5 Miles
Bike - 0 Miles
Swim - 3200 Meters
Second Week of January
Run - 31 Miles
Bike - 22.6 Miles
Swim - 6400 Meters
Third Week of January
Run - 33 Miles
Bike - 42.6 Miles
Swim - 6400 Meters
Fourth Week of January
Run - 31 Miles
Bike - 32.2 Miles

2009 Workout Year in Review
08 and 09 were both pretty good years. From a race perspective I accomplished quite a few Masters Championships. I am not sure how many more years I can keep that streak going!
2008:
Tri 4 Life - First AG
Historic McKinney Triathlon - First AG
TriRock Triathlon - First Overall Masters
Stonebridge Ranch Triathlon - First Overall Masters
Blackland Triathlon - Second AG
Sachse Turkey Trot - First Overall Masters
Penguin Run - First Overall Masters
White Rock Marathon Relay - First Place Odds and Ends
Plano Pacer 3K - First Overall Masters
2009
Historic McKinney Triathlon - 33rd Overall (Flat on the bike)
Classic Rock Triathlon - First AG
Two White Dogs Duathlon - First Overall Masters
Prairieman Triathlon - First Overall Masters
Stonebridge Ranch Triathlon - First Overall Masters
DRC 5K - First AG
Sachse Turkey Trot - First Overall Masters
Penguin Run - First Overall Masters
This list does not include several wins at the track as well.
All of that said, this fall was really tough. I had some Achilles Tendinitis and some PF. I had a grueling travel schedule. And crazy stressful work.
As we head into 2010 I have whipped most of those problems into shape. I am looking forward to a fresh start this year.

December Workouts
December got off to a good start with a Masters Win at the Arlington Winter Run. It was downhill from there.
Week Two I had three rest days due to a variety of poor excuses.
Week Three I had two more rest days due to my cold (one of the poor excuses from the prior week.
Then the last week of December I took a sixth rest day.
Week Three I should have done a 5K race, but due to that cold, I decided not to do that.
I think I really needed that rest though. Work stress and travel stress had really built up. I am now looking forward to reseting for the new years!

Workout Notes 2009 Week 52
Christmas Week! The start of two weeks off from work and also a visit to the family and friends in DC.
Tuesday I was heading down to White Rock Lake on the bike. There was a big south wind - heading to the lake would put the wind behind me. But when I got to RBM, there was a group heading out the other direction. I figured that it might be more fun to ride with the group and I could hide in the back if the wind was too much on the way home. The group rode all the way out Independence (straight north) to Virginia Parkway. Except I flatted out just before we got to Virginia, which left me with 25 miles solo into the wind. Sheesh!
Christmas Day Logan and Flew to BWI. I did some easy rides on the lifecycle at the hotel!
Monday Dec 21: 60 min run from Home 8 miles
Tuesday Dec 22: Bike to indep and virginia (Ave 17.1, CAD 78, rideime 3:08) 53.9 miles bike.
Wednesday Dec 23: 65 min run from home (recovery 36) 8 miles run.
Thursday Dec 24:Lifetime Garland - 500WU 2x(3x200 (swim, kick, pull) on 3:30, 6x75 on 1:30), 3x200 (swim, kick, pull) on 3:30- 3200M (167)
Friday Dec 25: 43 min run breckinridge (recovery 30) 5.5 miles run.

Workout Notes 2009 Week 50
Not a great workout week. Very cold in North Texas, so much so that I ran on the stupid treadmill on Wednesday, something I am not very fond of, BTW. I skipped Thursday due to work piling up. Fran hauled Reagan down to Houston on Saturday for the State Championships, leaving me for the weekend with Logan and Marissa who both were playing in the Blue Cup Soccer Tournament. I was at the soccer fields from 0700 until 1900 on both Saturday and Sunday. No time for running or anything else.

Christmas Letter
Hello All,
The 2009, year started with Marissa in Middle School and Logan and Reagan in Elementary School. The year ended with Marissa in High School, Logan in Middle School and Reagan still in Elementary. That has been a very big change indeed!
In the world of soccer, there was an equal amount of change. Marissa (14), started the year playing select soccer with Sting 95 White. She and Fran had become increasingly frustrated with some aspects of that team. Starting in June, when select players become “free agents”, (select players sign a 1 year contract to play with a club), Marissa tried out with a Dallas Texans Team, and also with TFC (Texas Football Club) 95 Blue. She really liked the TFC team, and when they committed a spot to her, she took it. She has been a starter for TFC and more often than not, is playing 100% of the game (usually 80 min).
As I mentioned, Miss Marissa is now attending Williams High School. This fall she tried out for the Plano East Sr. High Soccer team. She is bussed from her High school to the Sr. High School at the end of each day for soccer practice. She had a bit of a setback when she was diagnosed with a stress fracture in her foot. The stress fracture kept her out of action for about three weeks. She was able to battle back and in December she was notified that she had won a spot on the JV roster!
Logan (11), also started the year with the Sting 99 Blue team. July 1, 2009, marked the date that the players Logan's age (the so-called 99s), join their first select teams. Logan had been with Sting for a year and a half, but in May she started to play some games and do training with the Solar 99 Gold team, which is the team that she eventually signed for the select year. After committing to Solar, Logan was named a captain on her team as well. Logan has really enjoyed playing with Solar, and in early December they fought their way to the finals in the TFC Blue Cup tournament. Logan has also been in the process of trying out for the Olympic Development Team for the N. Texas Soccer Association.
Reagan, (9), started the year playing soccer at Sting, just like her sisters. Last spring she decided to put more focus on Gymnastics. But during the summer, she hooked up with some of her Gymnastics buddies to play indoor Rec soccer. That group continued to play together this fall, and went on to win the PSA 4th grade league! That was the second PSA league win for Reagan, as she won the 3rd grade league two years ago with her Plano United team!
More important for Reagan is her Gymnastics. She started the year with the University of Gymnastics Competitive team where she had been enrolled since she was three years old. During the last year, they went through three coaches, and when the last one left - that was it for the team. Reagan then joined up with several of her Gym buddies over at a brand new gym called Elite Champion Gymnastics. And that was an amazing move folks, because those girls have either won or have been runners up in every meet that they competed. Reagan won the All Around Championship at the Infinite Bounds meet. And then she went on to win the State Championship in Bars (with a 9.925) and won Bronze on the Beam and Bronze All Around at the Texas State meet. Reagan works out about 15 hours per week at the gym, and it’s a non- stop workout from beginning to the end.
Chris has been doing his usual Triathlon, Track and Road Racing Routine. Chris won First Overall Masters Finisher in two triathlons (Prairieman, and Stonebridge Ranch – (which was also a State Championship), a Duathlon, and Two Road Races. Chris won his age group in the other two races that he ran with the exception of the McKinney Triathlon where Chris got a flat tire!
Chris has had a crazy year at work as well. In July Chris' boss left the company and Chris was appointed Acting Director for the team (45 staff members) on a "temporary" basis. As the year is closing, Chris is still the Acting Director for the foreseeable future! In October the Company acquired one of our competitors. Chris worked on the acquisition team, which required three trips to London and one trip to India. Exhausting.
Fran is the backbone of operation, shuttling the kids to and from school and then taking Marissa to TFC practice, Logan to Solar practice and Reagan to ECG practice. It’s tiring just thinking about it. Fran's Dad has had three surgeries in November which resulted in Fran leaving town to take care of him for a few days. And that put Chris in charge of the bus schedule, (with a detailed itinerary), which may or may not have run smoothly in her absence.
Happy Holidays
Chris Fran Marissa Logan & Reagan

November Workouts
November opened with the DRC 5K race. I was still pretty much splattered from my trip to India, but I gutted it out and won my age group. But things did not get better during November! Week 46 I came down with a cold and I needed to take a few days off as I was flying to England the following week; it was important to not get on that plane in a weakened immune system state!
I survived England and came back and ran the annual thanksgiving race. My time was a bit better compared to the DRC race, but not nearly as good as last year. Travel was really taking its toll on my fall racing!
First Week of November
Run - 32.9 Miles
Bike - 41.5 Miles
Swim - 6400 Meters
Second Week of November
Run - 11.75 Miles
Bike - 83.2 Miles
Swim - 0 Meters
Third Week of November

Bike - 50.7 Miles
Swim - 3200 Meters
Last Week of November
Run - 24.75 Miles
Bike - 90.7 Miles
Swim - 6400 Meters
Total for November

Swim - 16000 Meters
Total for 2009:
Run - 1370.7 Miles

Swim - 261556 Meters
Back to:
2009: January * February * March * April * May * June * July * August * September * Octotber
