Raleigh - Week 16
The bumb in swim volume for me has been trying. I came off of the Jan OS where I was swiming 1-2 times per month 
.
This morning's 80' bike ride suffered from extra swim fatiuge as well as a poor breakfast choice. I tried somthing new and my stomach seemed desperate for me to get a secon chance to taste it! 
As a result I wasn't able to finish the last 20' FTP interval. Oh well. Just going to keep on keeping on.
How are you doing on your road to Raleigh? No lurkers

Hey Chris,
Man, Week 16 kinda snuck up on me. I was basically all cycling last week, at the BRC. Hacking this week a bit too, due to travel, but it's mostly a swim (looking for 12k yards) and run (35 mi), with a solid ride this Saturday. Got back on my tri bike yesterday, after a winter off of it, and it felt fine.
The swim waves have been posted and, unlike the 28th wave I usually get stuck in, I'm in Wave 4 behind young/fast guys, so we may get to do some real swimming this year. Hoping to get 12-18k per week for the next 4 weeks to get ready for that. I'm avoiding the buoy/Lava Pants because there's a good chance it'll be no-wetsuit. Next week is a big run week (40), Week 18 a big bike week, then it's taper/race time.
Looking forward to putting on the first ankle strap of the year.

I'm starting to feel discomfort from the z5 Tuesdays. I'm going to back off of the z5 work for now. I think I have some scar tissue left over from a stress fracture. z3 running doesn't seem to bother it at all and z4 barely anoys it. z5 kicks its a$$ though.
