5x5

Jan 1, 2014.
     As of Today I am officially a member of Team Big Sexy Racing (BSR). This team is formed by Chris McDonald an elite triathlete who is a 6x IRONMAN champion... enough said. Upon submitting my application I waited for about a month for Chris to announce his selections. This was possibly the longest month of my life... but not really because it was only 30 days. Once the email came asking if I wanted to join I was so ecstatic. I was truly jumping up and down at work with excitement, luckily for me and everyone else only me and one other person were there.
     Big Sexy Racing is an elite group of amateurs who are like minded people, and enjoy racing very fast. I have only competed in triathlon for a year and in that span have completed 2 Olympic Distances, a 70.3, and IRONMAN Louisville. I did not do any of these races fast, but I did not do them slow either. I was right about the middle of the pack for all of my races. I was also training to survive in the sport of triathlon not to actually move my body at a relatively fast pace. Before joining team BSR I already had the intention of becoming a more serious racer and joining the elite at the 70.3 world championships in 2014. Seeing the abilities and the "eliteness" of my new team I am even more inspired to train hard and race faster. I will keep the world or minimal readers of this blog posted on how training is going and race reports throughout the year of 2014. This blog is intended to help spread the word of our awesome sponsors, "training secrets" of the elite, and how a college student balances training, video games, girlfriend, and applying to graduate school! With that being said and today almost done, today's workout will be on the trainer watching Dexter, with a main set of 5x5 (3min rest between each) at z5.
Cheers! -Chris
