For me, this season, has been as magical as ever. My training has been kept right on track and has really not prevented enjoying as much cheer as possible. Believe me, the hardest trip to the workout is easier than going to Wal Mart. Maybe that is why you rarely see a triathlete in Wal Mart;). I had a workout set for every day including Christmas. Christmas was a nice incline treadmill workout in the basement. A nice little present after opening presents. By the way, I must have been fairly nice this year as Santa and family brought some great tri gear to keep me going. He even brought me an early present of a true tri bike: Cervelo P2.
The only thing that has been sacrificed is my tradition of placing my glutinous behind on the couch and partaking till uncomfortable. It's actually been great to have the energy that comes with a vigorous workout plan as well as the lack of guilt when sitting down to the family dinners and snacking on those holiday treats.
My real challenge continues to be weather. Currently, we are under a blizzard warning. To combat that I hit the pool at 5AM this morning at the Y just as the snow was at the cusp of our area. It was so great to be out in the peace of the early morn with a light snow and to knock out the pool smack down. So now I reside at home and prepare for some core training ........snow shoveling.
