I m leaving on a jet plane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have had the chance to meet so many amazing people over the last 14 years of triathlon. Most of them, i can call them my friends!!! some not :( .... but one thing for sure... i m a very lucky person!

Tomorow, i m starting a new chapter of this amazing adventure. I m flying at 8:15am from el paso to dallas to tokyo and finaly to Manila. Drive for a few hours to Subic bay, a old american military base that is now a touristic resort in the philippines. It is suppose to be very hot and very humid.

This is my training location for the next 2 months. I m very excited about this big change, i will get to meet lots of new teamates with who i will train for the next year. A new coach and training philosphy and a new country and new culture.

I have pack 50lbs of wheat free food, and lots of training gear...almost all my possession really!!! I promise lots of pictures and video as i will be living with me good friend Zach Ruble in a complex with all the other athletes.

oh, i receive a schedule today from brett and it says, i have to do a 40min run in the tokyo airport during my 2h connection and 80X50m stride inside the airplane over the pacific during the 13h segement from dallas to tokyo. It s a 747 so that should be duable. He wanted me to carry on my bike and trainer to do a threshold set on the last segement flight at 35 000 feet to get the high altitude adaptation.....

more silliness to come....

are you scare of your workout?

The training is a been very good over the last 2 months. Very consistant and doing some good work but definitly not feeling fast! 2 more months before the first race and 10 days before my departure for the tbb camp in philippines.

Today was another monster track workout. I woke up this morning and felt like the same nervousness of a race morning. You fell sickish...Hr already up and lots of anticipation of what is to come. I guess with all those year in the sport, i m very well aware of how much pain and hard work i m facing to accomplish this workout and i guess i take it so much at heart to do well at those that it become nerve racking....

I drove to the track. Oups, maybe i should have rode?? but it was rainy and cold so i took the car!

Put a few taping on the foot as i know blister are a possibility in long hard workout... and take 15min to warm up in the grass field. Then, jump on the track for what will be a main set of intervals that would total up to 2ho5. Starting the workout and going for the first loop, i simply terrified in front of this giant mountain of hard work that i need to put in. You go one interval at the time but there is that weird feeling of impossibility that you are facing. how will i pull this one off today??? well, i dont know if i ever got in peice with myself during that session but i simply try to not think to far ahead and take one interval at time.

As i finished the last interval and pass the line, i ended up standing still as i had no energy to lay down...... Freaking silly sport...why m i doing this? and why do i keep coming back day after day. Why m i lovin'it?????

No chance anyone as been silly as me today......

oh well, lets crawl home for some food and build my new Cervelo P2 that i just receive. One more in the bag! I might go to bed scare again tonight, there is a lot more work to come this week, month, year......

i need a shut down button for my brain! ignorance is a bless!!!

follow the link for another blog!

i will be blogging out of this and tbb site...kind of would like to make it one but i need to figure out how...

so for now, go there for a silly boring blog!
