Life has been extremely busy since late February and I haven&#8217;t had much time for blogging.  This and the next few entries dated prior to today (5\/20\/16) are all &#8216;ctach up&#8217; articles that have been in my queue to post.<\/p>\n<p>After the last Indoor Tri post, I did two more &#8211; the final event in the MITCS series and the final event in the ET series.  The first went really well; the latter had bumps.  Specifically, towards the end of the bike at ET I felt really constipated.  So I lost 4 minutes of the run while I was still taking care of that.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the Indoor Tri season was a great experience.  Not only did it give me an opportunity to have targets to push for as I was training, it also gave me experience for the outdoor season.  I plan on doing both the MITCS and ET series next year.  I will not do Life Time again &#8211; IMO it was far too crowded, and just not a great experience.  Combined with the fact that it&#8217;s the only for-profit race that I&#8217;ve had to pay for my guide, just not on my list for next year.<\/p>\n<p>I greatly appreciate everyone who helped me throughout the Indoor season.  Specifically Coach Joe, Todd, Lee &#038; Steven who all really helped to make it work out.<\/p>\n<p>In between the Tris and once the season ended, I was back into the pool.  Although it isn&#8217;t a big jump, I was able to cut another 10 seconds off of my CSS time in the pool.  I know that every little bit helps.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First of all, sorry for the long hiatus.
