I thought it would be interesting to post my crazy schedule from last week.
Friday July 14th : 24 hours On Call at the hospital working from about 6am to 6am the following day.
Saturday July 15th: Palos Verdes Marathon. Off work at 6am. Dress and prep for marathon. Drive down to Start. Look for Parking. Park a mile away. Jog to registration to pick up bib. Lineup for port-a-potty. Head to Start line 5 minutes before 7am Marathon Start. Take pictures with fellow "Marathon Maniacs".
Run first 13 miles then jog to mile 20 before hitting "Wall". Craving salt and Gatorade and Gu, but the aid stations ran out of everything except water! Painful process of walk-jog to the finish. Finish in 5 hours.
Rest and recuperate the rest of the afternoon.
Sunday July 16th: 24 hours On Call. Busy day and night!
Monday July 17th: Too tired for planned bike workout. Slept most of the day.
Tuesday July 18th: 24 hours On Call. Numerous life and death emergency situations. Adrenaline and caffeine keep me going and going and going....
Wednesday July 19th: After On Call shift ends, head to Conference to lead a 4 hour+ meeting. After lunch, head home to sleep. Later that evening 45 min run and 50 min bike workout.
Thursday July 20th: 8 hours of administrative office work. Afternoon 1 hour swim, 30 min bike, and 30 min run workout.
Friday July 21st: 10 hours of pediatric cases in the OR. "Rest Day" before Ironteam Saturday session.
Saturday July 22nd: Ironteam workout in Santa Monica: 3 hour Amalfi loop: Bike-Run-Bike-Run....repeat over and over. Rest and recuperate the rest of the afternoon.
Today Sunday July 23rd: 24 hours On Call ( again!!!)
In 2009, while training with Team in Training for the Full Vineman Triathlon, I was injured in a ski accident. I had ACL reconstruction in 7/09. After rehab, I trained for 10 months and became an Ironman at IM Louisville on August 29, 2010. Today I am a 15x Ironman. I have qualified to participate in Ironman Kona on October 8, 2016 through the Ironman Legacy Program. Follow my adventure as I join Ironteam and raise funds for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society on my Road to Kona!
