NAME CHRISTOPH O'DONNELL YEAR OF BIRTH 1979 HOMETOWN CAMBRIDGE, MA PRs OLYMPIC: 1:55 FAVORITE RACE FAIRLEE GREAT TRIATHLON, FAIRLEE VT TOP FINISHES 2000 NEW ENGLAND TRIATHLON CHAMPION 3RD OVERALL AT NATIONALS IN 1999 1999 NEW ENGLAND TRIATHLON TOUR CHAMPION ATHLETIC BACKGROUND 4 YEARS OF HIGH SCHOOL WRESTLING 1 SEASON CROSS COUNTRY AND 2 SEASONS TRACK TO STAY IN SHAPE. DAY JOB STUDENT FAVORITE WORKOUT BIKE: HILL REPEATS (PREFERABLY WITH COMPANY) RUN: 5 X 1200 WITH 400 JOG AS REST. PACE VARIES ACCORDING TO TIME OF YEAR. SWIM: MANY, HERE'S ONE. 5 X (250 FREE, 150 BROKEN UP BY 50 INTO FREE, STROKE, FREE, THEN 50 KICK) INTERVALS ALSO BASED ON TRAINING PHASE. COMMENTS WHEN LOGGING THE EASY MILES OR DOING RECOVERY RUNS, I TRY TO TRAIN WITH PEOPLE. TRAINING ALONE CAN BE A TICKET TO MISERY AND MAY LEAD TO LACK OF MOTIVATION. THE BEST MEAL AFTER A LONG RUN IS AN ENORMOUS BOWL OF CEREAL, WITH RAISINS AND BANANAS IN THE WINTER, BLUEBERRIES IN THE SUMMER. TRYING TO COME UP WITH GOOD PAPER TOPICS OR ARGUMENTS WHEN YOU RUN IS JUST ANOTHER FORM OF PROCRASTINATION.
