At 38 years old, I was forty pounds overweight, prehypertensive, and feeling lost in many aspects of my life. Changes needed to be made. I started walking every morning as a New Years resolution which led to jogging, then running, then running and cycling, and then running, cycling, and swimming. I had become a triathlete. This is a blog about my triathlon journey, becoming disciplined and finding the freedom that comes with it.

Year End Training Stats
I officially ended my 2019 season on November 7th when I had surgery to correct some life long sinus problems. My last race was the Kinetic Multisports - Savageman Challenge back in September. I kept my typical training routine going all the way up to my surgery date so I entered my recovery in the best possible shape. I coordinated the scheduling of my surgery with my typical winter layoff which is soon coming to an end. Below are my stats from TrainingPeaks for the year up to my time off. I follow a structured training plan created by TriDot Triathlon Training and my coach Sierra Snyder. It is a great program and they are in their Preseason Project right now. You can get up to two months of free preseason workouts that are challenging and guaranteed to increase your thresholds in all your disciplines. Some folks might be a bit surprised at the volumes you see below, maybe you think they are fairly low. That is the value of Tridot, they claim 30% less time than traditional plans because the training is optimized to you using artificial intelligence, genetic factors, and the analysis of millions of data files from triathletes from all over the world. I have been using it for three years and every year I have steadily gained and continue to set PR’s every year! To sum yp TriDot's approach to a season's training plan we say, "strong before long, fast before far." To see my race resume for this year and years past, go to this link.
