Sandy Point, morning July 19, 2009
Today is July 22. Ironman Arizona is November 22. So, that means we're four months out from the race. It also means it is time to get serious about training, nutrition and mental preparation.
Willie and I had dinner on Monday night and discussed some details about the trip. We've got our hotel reserved but don't have plane tickets or bike transport yet. Time to get that dialed in. Willie has also been having some trouble with his knee, but was able to complete a 60+ mile ride this past Sunday and then ran after the ride.
I bricked twice... bike/run on Saturday... swim/bike on Sunday. First open water swim (OWS) of the season. Swam in the Chesapeake Bay with DC Tri Club Half Ironman group. I wore the full body wet suit and felt pretty good.
Training schedule appears to be breaking down as such:
Friday: Morning swim, tempo run in pm
Saturday: Brick (Medium bike, 1/2 hour run)
Sunday: Long Bike
Monday: Rest
Tuesday: Short bike, swim at lunch
Wednesday: Long run
Thursday: Tempo bike
Trying to do weights on Monday and Thursday but have only made it in once each week the past three weeks.
Long run this morning was good. 10 miles in 100 minutes with an average heart rate of 124. Nice, slow, steady pace. Very humid today.
Lead group 7/19 ride @ dock in Annapolis. Adam, Adrianna, AJ & TJ
