Tri Training Update

I wanted to write a quick update on my training for the Chicago Triathlong Triple Challge and fundrasing efforts for the Leukeima and Lymphoma Society. 

So far I have raised $579 for the The Leukeima and Lymphoma Society!

People who donate get to vote on the color of my hair on race day. After you donate I will send you a link to vote. Not everyone has voted so far. Right now it looks like I will have purple hair. Make a donation at http://pages.teamintraining.org/il/chitri09/rdobroski and get your vote in.

Remember I'm also selling performace dry wicking shirts that say "Your Pace or Mine" for $30. They come in Men loose fit blue or ladies fit pink. The deadline to Order is June 1st. Download a form for the shirts here.

As for training it's going really good. I just did my first Team In Training Tri Team Swim last night in Highland Park. Wednesdays will be my rest day. Tommrow I'm going on a 45 minute bike ride. The short bike rides are killing me. After training for El Tour de Tucson any thing under 20 miles, or one hour, is too short. 

My running is going really well. Since I got a garmin watch it's been telling me I've be running at a 8:00 to 8:30 pace. Some day I hope I can keep that pace up for longer distances and for race day but well see. 

Weekend of Nov 1st, 2008 Bike Ride

 I rode my bike 77.5 miles in Naperville with Team in Training on Saturday November 1st. My ride time was 5:10. I crashed twice. Once at a stop were I didn't clip out fast enough and another where I avoided crashing into another rider I was coming into fast. Other wise I feel good. I can't wait for the 80 mile next Saturday in Arlington, Heights. 

On November 2nd I ran from my house to Nickol Knoll Park. It was good hill training. I did a goof 1:02 run. For me that was a 6 to 7 mile run. 

Afterwards I asked for donation to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society in front of Jewel/Osco in Elmhurst, IL. 

After El Tour De Tucson, I plan on running Illinois Marathon and doing the St. Anthony's Triathlon in April. Tour De Tucson is a 109 mile bike ride that happens November 22.
