Alright, just when I think I've got this triathlon training business all down.......
the other week I was feeling great, ready to really make huge strides with my training, I was eating pretty well, so I thought and then I got sick. Not just a little sick - it was the 3 days in bed kind of sick, and still feeling crappy a week later. I felt like I was being punished. All I could think about was the training I was missing and how am I going to make it up and get back to where I was.
It was frustrating, but I got over it after a visit to the doctor. I asked when I could get back to running and training. He asked if someone was going to arrest me if I didn't train for a week, (I thought, well Coach Matt is tough - no, just kidding). I had to step back and get better and chill out. This has been like a see-saw. Not only do you have to become efficient in 3 sports but you have to balance it all with eating and sleeping well, reducing stress in everything you do. I see the people that do it well at TFP, I'm hoping to learn their secrets.

Andrea, yes it is all a very tight balancing act. It has taken some of us TFP'ers a few years to finally get some of this stuff, and it is definitely a learning process that I continue to learn everyday. Keep asking those questions so you can learn from all of us and be way ahead of the game. You have already come so far, it is great to see how you have progressed. I know we are all excited to finally get outside and put all this training together. Thats when it really gets fun!!!!

It's not so much a secret as a routine, eh? It is different for everyone!
