4 Weeks to Lake Stevens
Wow, pretty quiet around here on the forums. I figured that while I was gone this week SOMEONE would have posted something.
I competed at Chelanman this weekend, doing the half-ironman distance race. Didn't do as well as I wanted to. 5:35:XX- had a decent swim, a slower than expected bike and decent run. Got 6th in my AG and 37th overall. It's a tough course, the winner of our AG said after the race that the bike is tougher than IM St George Bike. Of course he finished in 4:50:XX, he is also going to Kona this fall.
This week I got right back into the training. Sunday I rested, because there were some friends doing the Sprint Distance in Chelan. But Monday I rode 61 miles around Lake Chelan then after returning home that afternoon I rode with my sister another 42 miles- 103 miles @ .78 IF 2 days after a 70.3 made this guy very sleepy. Tuesday I got Mondays swim in and then another 30 miles on the bike @ .82IF. Wednesday was an hour on the bike @ .83 IF and then 30 minutes run with my dog. Thursdays long run of 105 minutes did not contain any speed work as I didn't have it in me! But I did get in 12.5 miles. Today (friday) I slept in. I going out tomorrow morning with my sis for another 60 miles and hope to get all the work in (20' at FTP and then 30' at 85%).
Hope everyone is getting in their work. See you all next weekend in Lake Stevens for the RR.
