Michigan is a wee bit colder than Santa Barbara. For me, the purchase of arm and leg warmers was a revolutionary breakthrough in winter gear. The wind-breaker shell is another great purchase that can be used while running. It is similar to the one in your post. Cheers!

Congratulations on your weight and sticking with it. Setting the goal is one thing, but sticking with it is another. Thanks for the comment!

I did a post on winter weather gear (http://fitrecovery.wordpress.com/2011/12/27/for-winter-weather-its-all-in-the-gear/). I hail from Michigan where the winter weather is a touch colder than California so winter gear is a must. Best purchase I ever made for outdoor winter workouts was my cycling jacket. It’s perfect for running too.

I do wish you luck. I ran two Olympic distance triathlons last year. Both were done at a friends house as our base and it was awesome. I ride and run the distance every Saturday, actually a little further, to train – at least til the snow flies. I belong to a Saturday morning running club and we decided to start doing the triathlons on an annual basis. Most fun I’ve ever had and after only running to keep from getting fat for ten years, I’m down to the weight I was when I got married.

Swimming the entire distance is really hard for me too, mostly because I am terrible at sighting while keeping an efficient stroke. Congrats.

Love this post! That’s an awesome realization and one that can only be made by you, in the moment.

So many people eat ‘food’ that the human body doesn’t recognize and hasn’t got the first clue how to process…and then wonder why they are fat, sluggish, tired and sick. Our bodies are adaptable to most any input…but when you’re trying to achieve optimal output it becomes very clear very quickly just how important healthy, whole foods are.

That makes me feel better… also explains why everyone was so spread out as well. Normally, the pack is pretty tight. I kept sighting at 90 degrees to where I thought I was going, particularly at the end. Glad I finished it! It was an awesomely fun time! Congratulations on your finish! Are you doing it again next year?

It wasn’t your technique keeping you from swimming straight…it was the currents! I was there and could NOT get in…and for some reason, I got a good 50 yards north of my group who were drifting south. It was so strange. I started spotting every third stroke and I was still getting turned around backwards. The lifeguards had to guide me out of it. They said the tides were very unusually strong for this beach, so there were very unusual conditions. It was a REALLY fun time though!

Probably the biggest reason for training during the winter is simply due to burning all the calories we’ll consume.

Comment on The Food Cloud Goes Paleo by Michael

Hi Aric,

I haven’t tried the Paleo diet, but I admire its discipline. As far as tortillas, I think you could safely include corn and/or rice tortillas and still be in safe territory.
And I also think that in order to really be considered disciplined, you’d have to cut out fast food from your diet altogether (which of course gets tricky when you’re traveling- requires planning ahead). Just my two cents…
thanks,
Michael

Hi Wendy! Malibu looks like a great event and I am considering participating as well. I am on the fence with Ventura as I am looking for new venues this year. Let me know if you decide to do Ventura and we’ll have a friendly little competition! -Aric
