2011 week two

Finished first complete week of 2011. Race season and race performance look so far off. Six months from now I hope I'll be collecting the benefits of my season preparation. But, six months is a long way off. Training this week took a significant jump in volume and I am feeling it.

Training summary: swim 3.5 miles, 3:15; bike 115 miles, 9:50; run 14.2 miles, 3:00. Total distance 132.7 miles in 16:05 hours with an additional 3:00 in strength training and stretching. Missed two run sessions and one swim but generally still on track.

This week is full, several appointments on 4 days and the training schedule continues to expand. Plans include somewhere between 11 and 17 workouts. Weather calls for continued cold and possible snow Wednesday or Thursday. Just have to keep pushing on. A hui hou, see you on the road.
