Workouts Week of Feb 24

So it has been pointed out to me that spring comes earlier in the south than some other places.  April 19 is thus considered a really early spring race.  Thus, it seems like this forum traditionally doesn't pick up steam until later when spring finally hits the rest of the country.  Regardless, I am going to make it my mission to recruit more EN members from the warmer climates to stimulate things and forge ahead.

 Looking ahead on the training plan, I will be in week 13 of the HIM intermediate with another busy weekend to look forward to.  Since I will be out of town for my daughter's scholorship competition, I may have to hack the plan to get my bike miles in.  More info on that later.

Have a great week and be careful out there, I almost got flattened Friday by some dude rolling a stop sign.

  • So,
    I took a nap after my Bike / Run this AM and noticed that I would not be able to get to the pool tomorrow due to travel.
    SO.. I tried to squeeze in a swim session today instead.
    Moderate fail since the pool closes at 5 and I only got in 1750 m but I am calling that better than nothing and taking a recovery day tomorrow since I will be on the road.

    BTW, the new Garmin 910 software update seems to have made it more reliable with swim distance for me.
  • OK,

    HIM Intermediate wk 13.

    Monday was actually pretty good as far as work went so I DID get in my swim.

    That meant that I swam Sun and Mon so I bagged the swim Tuesday after my AM run.

    The AM bike today was a significant change. After swim camp and the long rides of the past weeks, I had forgotten what a VO2 interval was (and how much it hurt).

    Looking forward to a steady pace run this PM.

    Having some challenges with the new Garmin connect but re-pairing the 910 seems to have made things better.
  • Had to hack the schedule this week due to travel.



    Swam and Ran long Friday then was not able to get a workout in Sat so I rode long Sunday.

    My wife rode the first loop of the bike with me so it was JRA pace + for the first 14 miles but I was still able to get in 50 miles in almost exactly 3 hours.

    It will be interesting to see if I can break the 3 hour mark for 56 miles in my RR ride.
