Sunday relax after long workout, im sorry for the muffintop ;)

heating up

Back on track!!!!

I am back to usual training routines. Coming back from altitude was very beneficial but i ended up not knowing any "official" version of my break down... even with further analysis...

anyway, when i started feeling strong again i was informed that i wouldn't be in the long distance World champs witch will take place next weekend. i found it very odd, i was actually hoping and confident that i would still do well there even with a less than ideal preparation. I was a bit mad about it..

So now i am left with another IM to prepare, IM louisville that gave a 3rd place in 2008  and surely will enjoy going back. Training has been good and weather is REALLY hot right now, hitting the 35º 40º in some days...NICE as long there is water around im in heaven ;)

I'm in the middle of a 3 week block ending this weekend followed by a easy week. And in august i will have a 11 day shock therapy and taper afterwards. In that hard period i will have a week in Tomar, my own spiritual spot that i haven't visit for a long time. really looking forward to it...

For me better than Portugal winning the world cup (witch will never happen)

there is nothing like this...

best thing to watch before an workout ;)

one week at home

And fortunately i have been feeling a LOT better. At least i can run with 50 heart beats lower and can ride at 200w without coughing a lung. feeling some energy is also good and the 30º+ temperature works wonders.

I did further exams and blood work to see if everything is alright so that i can sleep well knowing that i can wake up and go for a workout without worries.

As for whats next, that is a difficult question. i had the LD worlds scheduled and i still hope i can put some good effort there, we will how the following days shine. so far, without getting too excited about it, so good...

the fork...

the missing letter was...

...a F

2 weeks

It has been 2 weeks since i started feeling weak, honestely i tried everything to know whats going on, blood work came with very few conclusions as well as the heart scan...

tried to rest, tried to ease the training but everything does not change, with one of my A races on saturday im pretty sure a "DN$" will show at the result sheet from Vitoria. right now i really just want to go home...

yesterday i felt really bad again with the exact same synthoms as 2 weeks ago and other occasions during this stay at font romeu, but i still cant figure out, nor the medic, what is going on. Today i went fr a short run and felt like an old man out of shape (dont want to provoque anyone) so i just dis nothing the rest of the day. ill probably will do so tomorrow and will probably do so until i feel anything good... if i have to skip the race, so be it

more soon...or whatever :(

AWESOME

i will get a new updated version of the cycpro frame, cant wait.

things are not looking good around here

its been 9 days of altitude, its been really agressive till now.

No, not crazy volumes of training, actually its the other way around, but since like day 3-4 i just melted and have been training very limited and cant push much for the body right now. its like font romeu being 1000 meters higher than the other ocasions. Initially i thought that i had caught some kind of virus given how i felt and still am not sure if its true or not, i have synthoms that are like and others that arent. every workout that is at rolling pace is slow and everything that has intensity is slow too, i really feel like i have nothing to give right now, hopefully ill feel stronger next week...

Weather hasnt been helping either, its crap crap crap, that normally doesnt make me stay indoors but i kinda need every help i can get right now ;)

The olimpic boys got here from madrid on monday night so we are 6 right now + Sergio the coach.

more when the weather gets better ;)
