2012 ~ BRING IT ON!!
What has been happening since my big adventure in Kona?? I’ve been recovering, enjoying some “unscheduled” time, and making big plans for 2012! I took about a month off “training” and just got in the pool a couple of times a week, of course taught cycle classes (with very little resistance on the wheel…) and did no running for about ten days, and first on the Alter-G treadmill. I gave myself lots of “wiggle room” over the holidays and even missed a few Tues/Thurs 6pm master’s swims over the holidays with NO GUILT ~ and it was REALLY cold outside!! I had a great race at Kona and a smart recovery. The year 2011 will always hold great memories for me, I feel so blessed!
Now that the holidays are over, the Christmas decorations are away and I can actually see the floor on the laundry room, time to get caught up on the blog! Click the Long Course Team Elite tab to learn about our team of athletes for 2012 (well, give it a day or two for me to get it on there!). I continue to offer one-on-one coaching consultations & evaluations for athletes on an hourly basis to help them get their 2012 season off to a great start. The Y-Tri Club continues to grow, and the Saturday rides with Newport Coast Triathlon Team and the Y-Tri Club are the highlight of everyone’s week, I think!!! We’ve had a great winter of cycling the roads all over Orange County, and people especially like the “Hillacious” ride we do once a month…I’m pretty sure that’s a smile I see on their faces as they’re climbing the hills around Newport Coast. What a beautiful place to suffer!!
I’m especially excited about our new CoachSBR sweatshirts. They are VERY cool and so cozy for going to the pool, gym, etc. You’ve got to love the grey hoodies, all the awesome triathletes in the OC are wearing them!!
Here’s to a great year of setting goals & putting in the hard work to reach them, enjoying the excellent company of our friends, triathletes and non-triathletes alike, good health and lots of laughs. Let’s make 2012 the Year of the Cowbell!!!
