So Tired...


I NEED COFFEE NOW!!!
Sorry for the lack of updates.  I've worked 30 hours in the past two days.  Needless to say there has been no training for those days.  I hope to pick it back up soon.

Ironman Augusta 70.3 is only 18 days away.  If you plan on being there let me know I would love to meet up with you.

This weekend is 2K swim training in the springs so I can get use to wearing a wetsuit.  The springs are the only place in FL that is cold enough to wear a wet suit.  I will follow that up with a 13 mile trailrun.  Sunday will be a 60 mile bike ride.

Last Sunday I did VQ cycling training.  We did 3 hours of the Augusta bike course on trainer.  Nothing like sitting on a trainer for 3 hours.  Although surprisingly I had a fun time.  I made it 50 miles in 3 hours which means I may be looking at a sub 3 hour bike ride for the race.  :-)

The past several weeks I have been doing my long runs on the treadmill at LA Fitness.  On the treadmill I can avoid the high 90 degree heat and have water right at my disposal.  I can also increase the pace so I can push myself.  One thing I do notice is how quickly people get on/off treadmills.  They think 15 minutes on the treadmill qualifies as cardio.

Damian (my bike) is still having derailleur issues.  I hope they do no act up during Augusta.

Will any of you be at Augusta?

  2. Holy wow. That training sounds intense! I find sprint tris more than long enough so no 70.3s for me :P Looking forward to the recap!
