It’s the little things that matter most…
It has been almost 4 months since my last race and it has been a long time. The hardest part of training the last few months has been the steady day-in and day-out training without and immediate race goals. All that changes next Saturday at Ironman California 70.3. My 2009 race season officially kicks it off in Oceanside and I am getting excited. The last 4 months of training have been solid and I think that I can count the number of days off on one…(maybe one and a half)…hands. I have never begun my season feeling this fit and never been able to bounce back from tough workouts this quickly. I attribute this to my attention on the daily “details” of recovery and focusing on the foundation of health and fitness. I have made sure to get enough sleep, wear compression socks during and after tough workouts, take ice baths, daily use of trigger point technology products, proper and balanced nutrition include the daily use of Base Performance Nutrition product line. In fact I have not been sick or had any illness that has limited my training in the last 4 months. Focusing on the little daily details to make sure I am healthy and ready to do the hard training is the most important piece of the puzzle. Next week in Oceanside I will kick off the 2009 season and see just how much the last 4 months have paid off.
