16/17 DOS Run Week 14
Well gang, it's time to graduate! Enjoy a few less miles this week and be ready to tear up the test next weekend. It has been a pleasure watching all the work done these past few months. Let everyone know how you test and all the growth you've created. Have a great week all and a great season to follow!

@Scott Thanks for the support. Here is a copy of the same post I made in the Dec OS bike forum:
I know I have been absent from the forums a while. I work as a physician and NEVER EVER get sick. Last time I was sick was about 20-25 years ago! Well this year we had a nasty influenza virus going around that was not covered by our flu vaccine and you guessed it. I got it! Mid February. Put me out of commission for a good 2 weeks and I have been gradually getting back on board. Finally I have had some good workouts over the past 2 weeks. I did get to do a half marathon trail race about 1 1/2 weeks ago and did well. 3rd OA and faster than I did same race last year. Got in a few good hard bike rides recently and waited and pushed my bike test until this morning. I was able to get some more watts added to the 20minute test. Initially tested at 271 before the OS then mid way tested 290 and today was able to knock out 296. Can't believe I was able to push up that high. I am gonna wait a few days and do a run test. I have already shifted over to 1/2IM training plan and started up on about week 11 I think. I am signed up for 70.3 Florida as a B/C race just to train through and also will be doing 70.3 Gulf Coast and also 70.3 Chattanooga both in May. Hope to see some of you guys there.
