1st week to Frankfurt

It's been a very long time since I lost wrote an entry to this blog, I have had enough time to complete another IM distance triathlon and to do some damage.

But here it is a new season, here are new goals and here are some goals that have not been met yet.

I will be training for the Ironman European Championship in July and in the meanwhile I will be taking part of some shorter races around me that I will feel like doing.

So, I have just finished my first week of training, let me clarify that it is the first structured week because I had been putting some weights in my prep time to get ready, and even though the intensity is mild it was hard to go through it. I have had 10 sessions of training in which 2 of them were weights and I rode the bike for more than 1h for the first time in more than a month.

Even though It is the beginning of the season I have a marathon in three weeks time and that changes the schedule a little bit. I should be training at low intensity and jut putting miles on my legs and arms but if I want to do well in the marathon I have to put some extra work on my running and alternating series with weights is tough. What the hell!!! What am I complaining here I want to be an IM so what is wrong that I have to do series? I will be exchanging weights for hard days on the bike but I guess my overall fitness will be better by then.

Since last year I learnt a lot and now my mind is focused on two things. I clearly was not ready to balance 3 or 4 aspects of my life and that took a lot of energy from me. So this time I will try to focus on these 2 aspects and try to forget the rest.

Sure it will be hard to forget the rest when there are still open wounds. But I said it long time ago and I meant it and I mean it now again, I want to focus on these two aspects and I am ready. Sure I would have wanted to be able to juggle 3 balls but I can only do two at a time because the third does not only depend on me and my needs are not the same of others.

So out of the 3 possibilities that I had to choose of the third ball I think I ended up with the most convenience one for me even though it was not preferred one, but it was all or nothing because the 3^rd option was not given to me, that would have suited it me perfect but since I could not choose it I am happy with my decision and I will try to stick to it.

I must admit that I have been a little irritated these past few weeks, I would like to apologize but the stakes are high and I don’t know if I will be able to meet them. Anyway I am committed to my actions and in case that someone is not happy, there is always a way out.

I might not be titanium but here it is the song for the post. I was nearly broken down but I am not.
