good motivation to get in the pool March 14, 2008

Posted by Kylie in : swiming, mike, marky , trackback

I was sleepy this morning, but Mike was getting up to go swim so I dragged myself out of bed. It’s just easier when he’s getting up, too, since bed is less cosy when only I’m in it. I tried to come up with a way to get myself in the pool and getting in a full workout. I know if I have a set plan (especially one someone else knows about) it is a lot easier.

Well my coach (Marky) was asleep on the couch, in town for a power conference. And he woke up to the sprinklers and then gave me a workout of 2100 yds. So that’s one way to get a plan

So I got to the pool, and I got it all done. Oh, and held near my goal pace of 1:50 for the 100s at the end of it. I want it to be my crusing pace, and that was definitely a bit higher effort than that, but it just showed me another step in the right direction.

About Kylie

I'm a Southern CA girl that has been doing tris since 2004 and adventure races since 2005. I have a mission statement: stronger, passion, faster, desire. I want to get stronger, but am not willing to break my passion for sport in doing so. I'm going to get faster, and that burning desire will still be lit.

I have a great support crew! There is my awesome fiance & chiropractor Mike. And there is my coach and friend, the power genius Marky. Plus all those friends over at Trifuel and Endurance Nation.

The 2008 big tri focus: spending a year getting faster (and without an IM). A half IM, and hopefully my first olympic! Oh and that whole grad school thing starting. Bring it!
