Last weekend went well got 93 miles in Sat, my first major ride of the build. Garmin died on me so I had to piece my rides together from my 520 and 920 files. I'm focusing on the 5 hr rides and tracking my power data to get an overall picture and put it to the test on RR's.
Im throwing down my best ever run mileage during this build. 32-35 for next couple weeks then P has me bumping it up. I'm very proud of that, glass legs no more!
I really need to increase my swim frequency and will do so in the coming weeks. Especially the last 2-3 weeks.
Stay focused, hydrated and rested my friends. Oh yea, remember ABC (always be charging) those electronics!
Last weekend rides went well for me as well. (it was hot but I nailed the nutrition)
The local pool is still closed until next week. I have been doing open water swims but I 'm also feel the need to increase my swim frequency as well. Open water for me is much different than the pool. Some obvious reasons, but I find sighting is throwing off my stroke. Bilateral breathing seems to be off somewhat also. ugh (more work here to do for sure
Last week was a terrific week - made the Strava leaderboard for once ha ha! Some great running, cycling and swimming. Run test early in the week also showed a gain in run pace so very happy with that. I see a camp week coming up very soon and trying to figure out how to fit that into a real-world schedule this year, looks possible with some ideas and creativity (thanks Patrick)
This week will be a heavy biking weekend, now that the volume has increased the weight is falling again, if I can hold this weight I am going to be 4-5 kgs lower than my last full IM so excited about that too!
(buzzing today!)
I was interrupted last week in the indoor pool because of lightning, I know how you feel.
Had a physical on Monday and my Thyroid is not working properly. Started synthetic thyroid med. on Tuesday. We'll see how that changes things. Need to make sure the fuel program is good. I guess the thyroid helps your cells metabolize energy. Hmm. A new FTP and Vdot in a month? We'll see.
