90 Days and Counting....Miserable Seattle Weather...

Ok. We are here. This is it. I am now at the 90 Day mark for the event.

What does that mean?
-It is time to monitor my diet and pay attention to sugars, carbs, proteins, vitamins, and minerals I am consuming.
-It is time to turn my body into a metabolism and kinetic energy machine.
-It is time to greatly ramp up my training. It is important for me to beef up everything so that I can taper off near the end. In order for me to taper off, I need to have something to taper off from. I feel that I have a great base. At this point, I am much more prepared for the Olympic triathlon than I was for my Sprint triathlon. I don't think I had actual completed any of the distances prior to the race. At this point in time, I have completed the distances in all 3 disciplines. I know where my weaknesses and strengths are.

Problems: The Weather. It has been a horrible year. Do you want to see something absolutely hilarious? There have only been 20 days so far this year in which it hasn't been either ing or snowing. (as of the date of this post)

I know some people say, "Hey...Train in the rain..."...but Seattle has this amazing ability to dump the coldest most annoying Rain in the world. 38 degree Rain for weeks on end is no joy.

I think that I have taken advantage of some of the nicer days. In fact, I could go back through my blog and line my outdoor workouts up with the weather and find out if I took advantage of it. That is the bonus in keeping a diary.

...Lets take a look at the weather history here in Seattle and my workout blog posts. This is staggering. It makes me want to move away...


*Edit:  Because of the number of hits this page is getting, I have decided to update it.  The  rainy weather in Seattle is really funny at this point.

Why do I live here? Don't give me the "It's beautiful in the Summer...", because summer only lasts 2 months here.

This is depressing to look at...it baffles my mind.
