Weekly Training Log: Week of February 1st, 2016 - Week #7: SB50 and Finding Inspiration - We Won the F*ing SUPERBOWL!

In Training:  As far as TSS is concerned and overall workload, this was the biggest week of the year so far.  I am still on the treadmill and riding on the trainer exclusively (secretly loving it) and getting in my work mostly in the mornings.  I haven't had a day off since January 3rd, and feel good for not having one.  Training load going up and feeling stronger = good.  Time to keep going.


In Life:  Denver Broncos are Super Bowl champions.  That's really it for this week.  I realized how much I love football in how the past days affected me.

I am a triathlete.  I am a "pro" triathlete.  This superbowl caused me to be more anxious than I have ever been for any race that I have ever done.  I don't know exactly what that says, but I know that it means that I am emotionally tied to the sport of American football.

I also found that I find WAY more inspiration in watching a football game, NFL Network, ESPN, etc on the trainer than any Ironman or triathlon.
