Starting to pull down on the training volume. Last week was a long week and I look forward to the reduction in my training hours. I was able to come back after the Lake Stevens Tri and got most of my scheduled workouts done. Dr. Annie is working on the deep tissue issues, Brittany is helping with my glutes, flex, balance, and Heather is challenging me on the reformer.
Training summary from last week: swim 5.75 mi. 4:05; bike 103 mi. (80 miles on Friday) 7:05; run 23 mi. (16.25 at Lake Tye with my nutrition table set up to practice fueling and fluids); 3 hours with specialists. Total active training 131.75 mi., 16:20, total time for the week 19:20.
I am now starting the beginning of this training week. Scheduled 3 hours swim, about 6:45 on the bike including one long 4 hour session, and 4:45 in the run. On the short run days I am including elliptical and treadmill sessions.
This week I'll start organizing my bags for Kona. I need to get Brian and Martin the bike shop to coach me up on packing my bike for shipping and putting it back together again. This week and the next will be one for anxiety as I am sure that I will begin to second guess my training and worry about all the details as I get organized to leave. With only 10 days left at home and so many things that I can't control, who knows how the week will go. I got some help today at the pool on my stroke so I still have a few more sessions to fine tune that.
The next 10 days will be active. A hui hou, I'll see you on the road.
