Hello Coach P -- it's time to put a little structure into the next 16 weeks.  So far my season has gone pretty well, I'm at about the same level as last year for overall fitness and volume.  However, bike is higher and run is lower.  Swimming is going well, I'm not completely exhausted after a 3000-yard workout like I was last year

Planning for two more races before Kona:
  • A local Olympic-distance on July 9 - Caesar Creek Triathlon
  • AG Nationals on August 11 (Olympic)

My workouts are currently built around the Advanced Get Faster plan, and I'm hitting Week 10 in that plan.  So we need to decide what to load up between now and July 23 (assuming we load the IM Plan starting in Week 9)

I've scheduled a call.  I'll have slides.  They will include charts and graphs.

  •  Super looking forward to the talk. And your charts and darts.   B)

    Wound up taking last week as an Unstructured Week (UW); had 3 straight days off (Monday-Wednesday).  Still feeling the lingering effects of whatever sinus thing I picked up.  And of course that probably came from not including a UW in the plan.  I went 18 straight weeks of good hard work.  Shame on me for forgetting what works for me

    Feeling much better this week.  It's refreshing to just ignore the plan, and the structure, and the CTL/TSB, and just go with what I feel like doing

  •  It’s a fine line to walk between getting ready and challenging yourself, and realizing when you need some downtime. I’m glad that you are such a good listener and able to recognize the difference. I encourage you to continue being smart by returning at a regular place in this first week. 

    The work you’ve done for the past 4 1/2 months bill I have set the stage for a great race prep assuming you can absorb it all now. Tell me how life is going as a sponge when you get a chance!   ;)
  • @Coach Patrick -- any thoughts on the question I posted in Coach*EN? Looking for insight on upcoming RR
