Why do an Ironman (and race prep)

Tell us in the comments why YOU do triathlons.  We want to know!

The Building of the Tri-Cave

Having a dedicated workout space is the best!  Tired of riding the bike in the living room, we finally took the leap and are currently converting a spare room that rarely gets used into a "Tri-Cave".

First step was to get the furniture out.  After that, we put in a treadmill and started painting.  The bike on rollers moved in next, with a laptop to stream video for entertainment.

We are still waiting on the couch, a little more painting, and the shelves to put the laptop onto.  

Right off the bat, I've noticed a few things:

• It's nice to have an entire room to keep most of the gear in.  HR straps, running shoes, and more is easier to find when it has a place to live.  
• You can get more biking and running done when you don't have to "gear up" for an outdoor adventure every single time.
• It is a fantastic solution for those of us with kids.  You can keep an eye on them, pause and resume workouts, and answer all those millions of kid questions like, "Well, the cat's not technically flammable, but let's not try to find out."
• All the nutrition and hydration in the world is available whenever you need it.
• You can get in a solid hour plus in the middle of the day or night and not get sunburn, frostbite, windburn, or whatever the issue might be this time of year.
• You can use a video camera to film yourself to see your own form.  This tool is one of the most powerful methods to get faster and prevent or fix issues that can be contributing to injuries.

It all looks good for now, so stay tuned to see how long the honeymoon lasts!
