Friday night of a collegiate triathlete

Homecoming weekend.
4:15 p.m.
I should have asked someone to the dance, I just didn’t feel like it. Oh well, I still got stuff to do.
4:25 p.m.
I went for a nice twenty mile spin. It was windy. I wasn’t really working but still managed to average around 21 mph. Not bad for a spin.
5:50 p.m. walk downstairs to get some food. Barb’q pork and cheese with bottled water.
6:15 p.m. Start working on an assignment due before midnight.
7:15 p.m. Finish up. Snack on some more food.
7:30 p.m. A guy needs to borrow a dress shirt and have me tie a tie for him. Amateur.
7:45 Most of my friends go out for dinner, I’m kinda strapped for cash so I keep reading , my book.
8:40 time to run to the weightroom (half mile.) I’ll lift for an hour and a half then go to bed.
8:44 The weightroom is closed. I’m bored, so I start running two mile laps around the campus.
10:40 16-17 miles later I finish up.
10:49 I step out of the shower and grab my keys.
10:57. Dang it, Hardee’s closed early. No thickburger tonight.
11:15 Driving around, can’t find any food places open.
11:30 Arrive back after finally having to just stop at a “quik’e’mart.”
11:35 Someone left a pizza in my room.
11:50. I finished off the entire pizza. I’m snacking on fries someone else gave me and drinking sobe.
11:55 eating a carton of cookies’n’cream Ice cream and contimplating going to the bathroom.
12:05 Wonder what I should go do. Is there anymore food around here?

Sounds similar to me, Ill pass on the Hardees and Ice cream right now, its still race season
.

You must have some mean concentration, thats a lot of 2 mile laps.

Dodging the drunk people…

Where you go to school?

I’ve run 15mi each day for the past three days on the safest place to do so around here: the track.

My Friday - watched my brother’s soccer game, drove back to school, dinner in my room because the cafeteria food sucks (you can cook a lot with a toaster and a microwave), bed at 7:30 so I can be rested for running this weekend (12 and 23, on trails an hour away).

I LOVE being an athlete!!!

University of Illinois-Springfield.

         University of Illinois-Springfield  ![http://forum.slowtwitch.com/images/clear_shim.gif](http://forum.slowtwitch.com/images/clear_shim.gif)Are you for real?  I thought you lived in AZ?

It’s homecoming weekend here too. I made it to bed at about 3. Think I’ll wait until this afternoon for a ride.

I wish, it’d be a lot warmer then.
I’m hoping to be in peak shape for Collegiate Nationals, but if we get a lot of snow that is going to get tricky.

Maybe if you went long instead of targeting going long you could last more than 1:30… :wink:
