Historical Crackhead Training & Racing















I'm trying to get over Nothing, but I keep getting something out of it. But I did promise that for whatever reason (those of you addicted to the crack) that I would post my season totals and all that.

First, here are some of the interesting facts:
  • Number of insect stings: 3. I may need to get a prescription for an Epi pen since I seem to be reacting more each time I get stung.
  • Number of times I rode 100+ miles in a day: 8. This is a problem. I'm going to need to get on those earlier in the year, like March-April timeframe. Ironman is all about riding far FAST. I can do plenty of FAST in the winter, add FAR, but then the kicker is FAR and FAST.
  • Number of times I swam at the outdoor pool: Not sure, but close to 50. I miss that.
  • Number of times I bonked while running: 2 or 3
  • Number of hyperthermia incidents: 1. I'm pretty proud that this was my first time :)
  • Did the most number of triathlons (including Nothings) in a season at 15. That's a whole lot of fun!
  • Number of hypothermia incidents: 2--once at Triple T, IMLP.
  • Won Grand Master Crackhead division at Triple T.
  • Swam in the coldest water I've ever been in at Triple T.
  • Did my longest run ever.
  • Did 2 IM's (1 Nothing) in the rain. Got rained on during a 1/2 NothingMan. Got rained on at Triple T. Got rained on a lot!
  • Number of nearly naked pics of me on this blog: I don't know. Count them yourself :) Winner gets to predict my next crazy adventure.

Below is all the data since I started doing this stuff. The only thing I know for sure is that since I was a little low on running and swimming, strength training kept me sound this past season. Stress took a heavy toll on me pretty much through July, but that is mostly in the past now. I am now officially beginning my 2008-2009 year, and I predict that no matter what my time achievements may be, that there will be another bunch of firsts, a whole lot of fun, and great experiences on my own and with others of a similar mindset. I kicked off the season in a unique way--I ran in the desert over this past weekend. Not too far from Death Valley. It's really true--there are dinosaurs in the desert!
