FL 70.3 Last Big week before taper

Jan Schorpion

Last hard training week for FL 70.3 . We're only 3 weeks from race day. Work hard this week, get enough sleep and good luck with the final RR this weekend. After that we begin to taper.



Let's start making a plan on when and where to meet up on Saturday or Sunday for a team picture. Melissa and I will most likely be arriving in Haines City in the early afternoon on Saturday.

I think Sat afternoon would be better.... Sun am may be a bit hairy to try and do a picture.

How may people are doing this race... and where are they?

I am in for the Saturday afternoon pic, but as it one of my pre-race day pet peeves, I will not be wearing tri gear so I may just look like a fan/ cheerleader for you guys As for the rest of the team, I think Ray Brown was on a few earlier posts? Not sure... right now it looks like it may just be the 3 of us!

Good swim this morning. Arms felt much better than Wednesday, but legs are fatigued from last night's run. Hit all sets at or 1-2 sec below targeted pace. Due to prior commitments, won't be able to do the RR tomorrow, but hopefully the weather will co-operate and than we'll get it in on Sunday.

RR2 got washed out. Missy and I couldn't do the workout yesterday due to prior commitments so we had moved it to Sunday morning. We left around 8 am and were back home by 8:20-8:25. Cold rain, wind, low 40's. Couldn't feel my fingers after 10-15 min and decided to turn back. Once home, had no desire to set up the trainer and ride in the same spot for 2-3 hours. 



Besides today, hit 100% of all the past week's workouts, so overall a good week but not much time spent on the bike.

My schedule has been foobar lately. Had to do my long run yesterday and my RR ride today. Freakin' brutal wind, helluva a workout. My training hasn't been the best, but I am starting to think I am going to seriously improve my time from 2 years ago
