Computrainer Threshold Test

Today I went over to Carrie's house to do my computrainer threshold test on my bike. This test will give me my heart rate zones while I'm riding.

It has been a while since I rode my bike. Believe me when I tell you that Tulio reminds me all the time of how much it is worth...and how it's just hanging out there against the wall in our den. I love my bike. It's a baaaaaaaddddd bike! I just haven't been on it in a while (I completely blame crossfit). Well I unloaded my bike and Carrie pointed out that I had cobwebs on my pedal...LOL...how embarrassing!? The first thing I said was, "Oh my husband would just love to see this!" (not)


Well the test went well and I now have my heart rate zones. Carrie said that when she makes my workouts, she will put down what zone I should be in and how long. Here are my heart rate zones:

Martiza Dominguez - You Are An Ironman!

Congratulations Maritza!

Yesterday, my friend, Maritza Dominguez became an Iron(wo)man. She completed Ford Ironman Florida.

Her sister, Ariana and I are really good friends. Ariana was at the race supporting her. She kept everyone in the loop via text and facebook. It was so fun the get the updates. Tulio was in a wedding yesterday, so I couldn't make it to Florida to cheer her on. Every time I would get a text message I would get goose bumps and I would just feel so much pride to know that one of my friends was on her way to complete 140.6 miles.

It was a tough journey towards the end of the race for Maritza but she did it! She finished! She persevered!

When I finally received that message that she was done, I got very emotional and went the bathroom to let out a few tears. I was so proud of her! I'm still proud of her! She did something that many people can not imagine doing.

What an amazing accomplishment!



"Maritza Dominguez, you are an Ironman!"
