Anyway... did the Seattle half marathon, was it a awful race or was it just me? It was so cold and it was wet, the fact that I felt that it's harder then a half ironman made me think that this Seattle half marathon was bad. I bet my shoes were like at least a pound heavier after the socks and shoes got all wet. In addition, I didn't make my slow goal of 2 hours =( Oh well, I knew that I wasn't well prepared, I was out of shape, and I was like at least 10 lbs heavier than summer, what can I say. I just need to learn from this experience, and hopefully I will do better next time. I know I will do better next time. The bottom line is, I survived and finished.
Anyway, here's the gps data

I think, and I feel that I am actually starting my ironman training, finally. So this could be the first post that actually fit the title of my blog, road to ironman.
I decided to join the Cycle U tri team. oh man, i was going to join their indoor spinning class this sunday, but I showed up like 45 minutes late, i thought it was 9 instead of 8, I did their regular spin anyway.
Oh well, now that I know and there's no more excuses.
Besides spinning, I FINALLY am swimming again. Yes, finally! After like 3 months, I am back to the pool. I went to the greenlake pool yesterday morning for the master swim, i was shocked! There were like 30 people showed up at 5am in the morning for the master swim team, that's just ridiculous crazy. I don't know what to say, all I can say is those people are crazy.
by the way, here's their web site, but seems like they are down for now
I am so so so out of swimming shape, after just couple laps my shoulder and hamstring were super sore, actually still sore right now, this very moment while I am typing all these. It was only like after 5 minutes of swimming and I started feeling it. Well, that was a good start and I am so proud of myself, pat on my back. I am gonna wake up early tomorrow again, and get back to the pool.
Last but not least, the title of this entry. 2 miles, 1 miles, 800m, 400m, and 200m. That was the track work out tonight at the Roosevelt High school. I feel way better than last time. It was probably due to my sickness last time. But yeah, I felt good after the run tonight, another good start.
These are the work out:
