OK...time for a change. I changed the look of this blog because I've changed a few things in my life.
First off, I'm gonna try to go back to engineering two days a week because working for LA Fitness isn't making me enough money to have the things I want.
Second, and this is the big one...my journey back to endurance sports has officially begun! On July 27, I registered for Ironman Coeur d'Alene 2010. It will be my second time in CdA. I have wanted to race it again since I left the town in 2008.
I am going to venture to blog here more often, I have 11 months to prepare to PR at this race. I am determined to go faster than 11:14 next year. I have a LOT of things to change about myself. I have become a "power athlete" lately, doing a lot of bodybuilding and speed workouts. I need to switch gears, lose some muscle bulk, tighten up, and become an endurance athlete again.
CrossFit will NOT leave my life...in fact, it will become MORE prominent as I probably won't be doing much "bodybuilding" type lifting in the coming months. It's been fun having a bodybuilder's body, but it's time to get back to where I belong...in the world of ultrarunning, and long distance triathlon. THIS is what I was made for. Bodybuilding has made me very superficial in the past few months...of course, that's what it is...it is purely aesthetic. And that's totally fine...that's what it's meant to be. Powerlifting is for strength and power...bodybuilding is for bodily VISUAL perfection...symmetry, development, and definition. Endurance sports are for endurance...not for the "look". So that's where I'm headed back to.
On June 27, 2010, I will be a four-time Ironman. The journey has begun.
