Michelle's Blog: January 2011
http://michellecarter.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 31, 2011. Almost made it through January without getting sick . It started Friday night and continued over into Saturday which means I did not run 9 miles like I was supposed to. Instead I slept for about 14 hours. Today is supposed to be an off day and I would love to take advantage of it and go to bed early but I might try to swim tonight . although I'm not counting on it.

Michelle's Blog: Mental Road Block
http://michellecarter.blogspot.com/2011/04/mental-road-block.html
Monday, April 11, 2011. With Vineman less than 3 months away, I’ve realized that I need to start training. Like seriously training. Now how do I do that? I have a boyfriend who is so motivating and encouraging, a team of coaches willing to help me with any questions I have, teammates who are willing to join me for workouts, friends who are constantly asking how it’s going and I’m stuck. I have no motivation to do anything. What is wrong with me and how do I fix it? That once was my limit? The Leukemia an...

IRON UP: Remembering Brenda July 6, 1970-April 14, 2007
http://kickbuttwu.blogspot.com/2010/04/remembering-brenda-july-6-1970-april-14.html
Wednesday, April 14, 2010. Remembering Brenda July 6, 1970-April 14, 2007. So far, this blog has mainly described my insane training regimen as a member of the IronTeam. But it has also highlighted some athletic accomplishments that never in a million years I thought I would ever achieve. Swimming in open water in 50 degree weather, riding my bike up Mt. Diablo, doing as many sprint triathlons as I can in a 5 hour span- -who knew? As I got to know Brenda better, I met her husband Jim; her two sons, Trevo...

The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Sunday, July 25, 2010. Week #37: Nutrition IS Key! I have been told that the success of an Ironman performance is based on one thing, nutrition. Yes, you have to be physically capable to do an Ironman and in general, most participants who sign-up are. However, the difference between a good race and a bad one lies in proper nutrition. I don't think i've touched upon it during these weekly updates and I probably should have. Was a rest day. On. The BIG Triple Brick. I fin...

My Journey to Vineman: Sunday 04/18/10 A Long Week
http://ferrumman.blogspot.com/2010/04/sunday-041810-long-week.html
My Journey to Vineman. Sunday, April 18, 2010. Sunday 04/18/10 A Long Week. Been too long since I have written. I will try to get better. Lots of information to write. First and foremost, I bought a new bike! Beats the hell out of the $100 bike I've been riding for the last 2 1/2 years. Fortunately, it was Masters weekend and I could watch Phil Mickelson take it home! Wednesday, I take a spin class in the AM. No excitement. Friday AM, another spin class, and again, NO excitement. Saturday AM, I drive dow...

http://kickbuttwu.blogspot.com/2010/01/lassod-yassos.html
Sunday, January 31, 2010. After our triathlon last Sunday, this recent week was supposed to be a "recovery" week- -like everything else, it's all relative. Nothing is easy when it comes to IronTeam training. The biggest challenge this week was completing the run marker, which consisted of the Yasso 800's. On Saturday, our team met at Sports Basement. In Crissy Field for a 1.5 hour run, a strength/core workout with the TRX,. I was going to do the bike marker today, but just needed a day off. My quads ...

IRON UP: May 2010
http://kickbuttwu.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 16, 2010. Still at the Back of the Pack. When I trained with the run team, I was at the back of the pack and things haven't changed much now that I'm cycling and swimming. Yesterday was my longest ride to date (an 80 miler) which was essentially the Vineman. I will have to remember this stop for future rides. I saw Coach Mike at Chalk Hill and we rode together back to our starting point in Santa Rosa. I think I finished the ride about 1.5 hours after the speed demons on the team. ...Live the ...

IRON UP: June 2010
http://kickbuttwu.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 13, 2010. Epic Weekend at Clearlake, 3/4 to Iron (June 4-6, 2010). Saturday morning came too quickly.we arrive at the Shaw's around 5:30 ish to set up the transition area and to get into our wetsuits. Since I was in the first wave start, I had to be in the water at 6:30 am. Once back at the house, I showered and changed into clean clothes and began to feel human again. One by one, my teammates started rolling in. And as a team, we went outside the gate and cheered for Maria who compl...Relie...

http://ferrumman.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
My Journey to Vineman. Sunday, January 17, 2010. I woke up late from the party last night. I guess I won't be making up the workout from yesterday. I will go to the gym tomorrow to get the swim in. I think I will watch football today. That's a good way to spend a day. Today is Lohri, the bonfire festival, a traditional Indian holiday. Wikipedia defines it as:. ਲੋਹੜੀ ( Gurmukhi. लोहड़ी ( Devanagari. Is an extremely popular winter festival in India. I can make it up on Sunday and Monday. Friday AM brings w...
