Well the Iron Buttz went to Texas and it was HOT, humid, windy and hard…but…it’s supposed to be…it is an Ironman :)
For all the gory details with lots of cool pix and props…check out the video below…
The countdown continues:
1 to IM Hawaii 70.3
4 to IM CDA
6 to Badwater
8 to IM USA
13 to IM KY
13 to IM Canada
15 to IM Moo
19 to Kona
Training – mid-season break :)
I am a BIG fan of focused training followed by unstructured breaks to allow for some decompression both physically and mentally.
I get the next 2 weeks “off plan” and that is really nice…
It doesn’t mean that I don’t exercise…I will do quite a bit but it is only when, where and how I want to versus having to do 3H with 6 x 5 minutes at XXX watts with X:00 recovery etc etc etc.
I do it for fun and that is what this sport is supposed to be…so…
Saturday -
Leaving the house at 7am for 3-3.5H ride on road bikes.
Heading out to the valley riding “nice and easy” and then linking up with the group.
Back at the house at 10:30 and then Retul fits x 2 starting at 11am.
Bone and I are gonna do Kung Fu Panda II in the afternoon and then hanging out with the family at Cheeseburger in Paradise…at the Club :)
Sunday –
Leaving the house at 6:25am for the 10 miler with the Sea Turtle group at 6:30…running in the back and being social.
Breakfast with Bone and Drew…then hanging with Bone all day…play…play and more play.
Monday –
Might ride again if there is a group ride…we’ll see what is going on and then hang at the beach or pool and chill.
Good Causes –

For any of you who read down this far…you know I almost always close with “As always – “F” Floyd Flandis, Alberto Cheatador and Ricardo Ridiculouso!!! Et tu Tyler ???” or something like that.
Appearently I need to remodel my I love Lance Wall at work and take back all the bad things I said about “these guys” as they ALL seem to have skeletons in the closet…
If the UCI is implicated in the “cover-up”…man…that is just incredible.
Last…props to Tyler for coming clean and manning up and ALWAYS saying it was him as well…I am holding out hope but I think Big George is next.
