Inspiration

by Christina @ Christina in Training

This week three years ago, I was training with Team in Training to run my first marathon and I became connected to the cause in a way that will forever be with me. It went something like this.

I knew that Leukemia was the kind of cancer kids can get. That was pretty concerning to me and I thought anything I ...

Napa Valley Half-Ironman

by Christina @ Ironman Training
What a day!  I was up at 4am to drive to Lake Berryessa near Napa.  I'd never been up there, and was struck by how nice it is up there.  This has actually been a recurring theme during my training - seeing places for the first time and wondering why I've never seen them before.
The event was very small - I'm guessing there were 300 people there, which was a nice change of pace. ...

Half Ironman

by Christina @ Ironman Training
This Saturday, I completed a half-Ironman training event near Lake San Antonio. It feels fantastic to get to this milestone. I've spent the past three weeks trying to recover from a nagging cold, which forced me to do very light workouts. That might not sound like a big deal at first, but here's an example of the impact of this. A couple weeks ago, the team had ...

Is it summer yet?

by Christina @ Christina in Training
If you have not noticed it has been raining. A lot. Last Sunday the schedule said "Open Water Swim & 10 Mile Run." Remembering that I had experienced "some level of discomfort" during my last open water swim I thought I would be sneaky and "support" a few of my favorite people, who were running the Napa marathon last Sunday, and if that prevented my from attending the open water swim, I ...

Road ride with Chirag

by Christina @ Ironman Training
Proof that I'm crazy... I just completed a 63 mile bike ride -my longest yet. Wait...that's not the crazy part. The crazy part is that this comes on a day when I was supposed to ride about half this distance according to our training calendar.

Why would I choose to do this? I could blame Chirag - my riding partner for the day - pressuring me into riding longer than ...

Louie Bonpua Triathlon

by Christina @ Ironman Training

I just complete my first Olympic distance triathlon on Treasure Island, near San Francisco. The event itself was a lot of fun, but it was also a very real reminder of why I've joined Team in Training. In the days before the race, I received this email from the coaches:

Team,
Obviously you know Louie's name, as we are racing in the event named ...

Holiday Training

by Christina @ Ironman Training
I found myself in Maryland during the holidays. It was great to see my parents, but the 15 degree weather quickly convinced me that my training would be done in the gym. And as I trained on varous exercise machines trying to get a decent workout, I gradually came to a realization which can be summarized as "This sucks". People like to complain about the cost of living in California (particularly people ...
