As a tri-newbie switching over from years of running, I look up to you and admire your experience. I'm thinking out my taper now, intensity up and volume down down you said? Do you crank up the intensity by doing, e.g. bike sprints or swim drills for speed? Or is it more resistance?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11239428.post-51987762762900127662008-09-05T02:45:00.000-07:002008-09-05T02:45:00.000-07:00What a great post.

Your dad is a special guy, and it sounds like he really understands the emotional side of doing tri training, not just cheering at the races, but being there and being concerned throughout the long training days too. Your mom's note, melting here! You're a lucky person for sure. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11239428.post-52446215054707479522008-09-04T20:02:00.000-07:002008-09-04T20:02:00.000-07:00this is hands down my favorite post of yours ever....this is hands down my favorite post of yours ever...i love awesome parents...AND when their kids appreciate them. your dad reminds me of mine..

Not sure why but it did. Bless you Iron Mom. And she can certainly cheer me on at IMC if she wants. <BR/>My parents came to watch me in a half ironman race this spring. It was so amazing for me to see how excited they got about it. Then by some amazing stroke of luck I actually placed 2nd in my age group.

I grew up in Los Gatos and Campbell, and used to bike and run the Los Gatos Creek Trail all the time through Vasona Park and to the reservoir. I don't know if you've done the bike ride to Santa Cruz from Los Gatos, but if you're getting a bike to keep at your parents' place, I highly recommend it. You start at the reservoir and follow the road leading from it (forgot the name) south to Summit Rd, and take that to Old San Jose Rd, which takes you right into Soquel, and then Santa Cruz. I think it's about 35 miles or so, hilly, full of redwoods, and beautiful!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
