I've been in Phoenix for a while on business.
I've not worked out @ all since Firecracker, nothing except for a while @ the climbing gym in Phoenix last night.
I've been visiting the chiropractor the last 2 weeks, about 2-3 times a week.
Does my back feel better?
Sometimes.
Am I concerned this could be a life long problem?
YES.
This sucks.
Well heres to healing.

Firecracker tri-athalon
Or HOW to furiously BONK and race poorly.
Well today was the Firecracker tri.
Our swim was seated slowest to fastest.
I started about 730am or so.
Anyway just before my turn the fella in front of me turns to me and says I start out really slow.
Ok great, we start 15-20 seconds apart so I shouldnt be able to catch him.
1st lap this guy is fuckn crawln and I catch him.
Well I have to power past him to get him out my way.
I swam ok.
I started to feel like crap after that and was caught by the guy I passed but just as we were getting out of the pool so technically I was still ahead of him because I started behind him.
Regardless I swam shitty and slow.
I ran all the way to t1 and it was a long ass way around the building around transition and in through the other side.
I Felt like the bike went well until I hit Euclid.
Everytime I hit Euclid my speed dropped way down.
The run(the real beginning of the end of the nightmare)
The run started out well, I hit the mall, everything was fine.
I turned the first mile in about 8min35sec. No biggie, well I started feeling horrible so I cut in a 1 minute walk break, usually doesn't slow me down.
Mile 2 was a little over 10minutes!!!! What the hell.
It just got progressively worse. The last mile was like another 10minute + mile.
So the break down is as follows
Swim 750 meters-14'21"
Not sure where the trans time gets factored in,I think they put it toward my bike time.
Bike 12 miles-41'40"my computer recorded the ride as follows-
38'09"-time
distance-11.52
18.1mph avg.
26.4 max
Run(the beginning of the end).
3.1miles in 29'04"
total time 1hr24min43sec
All of this is just encouragement to get my back fixed...It was fun,I'm a little irritated with the run and swim.

ick
Popppy, Zane and I headed up to Sabino.
We arrived as the sun was going down.
They walked and I ran to m.p. 1 and back.
1st mile 7'58"72
2nd mile 8'35"90
@ 10 minutes I still took my 1 minute walk break, thats included into my mile 2 run time.
total time 16'34"62.
Faster then last week because it wasn't as hot.
I seem to be having issue swith the gels and blocks when running even sorta hard.
It's causing me Phleghm or foam in my lungs/chest.
I begin to cough after about 12 minutes.
Then I start coughing hard and gagging, almost to the point where I'm barfing it seems to pass after a few minutes. Of course all this makes things hard to breathe, I just keep running.
I began to experience this last year and figured it was allergies.
I'm going to have to experiment with different fuel.
I've found this isn't an uncommon problem.
Well I need a break after this next race.
I need to heal what's wrong with me...All sorts of shit,neck, back, weird headaches,stomach.Funny chest spasms.
My heart rate has gotten even lower then last year, not sure if that's anything.
I rarely complain here or anywhere but I'm having some serious issues with my back.
I may have to go to the dreaded "docter".......
Zane had a good time tonight,so did Poppy all sweat and smiles.
Yes Sweat! It was humid!
