With my sickness behind me I was ready for a solid week of training! This is my last week before another rest week (unless Matt changes things around due to my sickness). I wanted to hit this week head on and own it. Monday: 1:40 ride. I nailed this workout and felt like a superstar… Continue reading Ironman Training Week 16 Summary
Week two of harder workouts. I felt like I was getting sick the week before but was hoping I was going to hold off any sickness that wanted to attack me. My chest was killing me on my long ride on Saturday 2/7. I thought I had won but Sunday night rolled around and I… Continue reading Ironman Training Week 15 Summary
Back to the grind. As much as I enjoyed my easy week I was looking forward to seeing what week 14 had in store for me. Monday: 1:35 ride based on HR. I felt like I nailed this workout. It’s always a good feeling when you have a solid workout. Tuesday: My lazy ass didn’t… Continue reading Ironman Training Week 14 Summary
Hallelujah week 13 was a rest week. It was very nice to know I only had to ride an hour every day and that my long ride was only an hour and a half. That’s a breeze! I only had to swim twice and run once. I just know with an easy week like that… Continue reading Ironman Training Summary Week 13
My last hard week before an easier week. I felt pretty good going into this week minus some stomach issues I had later in the week. Body wise I felt great! Strong and determined, that’s for sure. Monday: One workout Mondays! About 3 weeks and this will be my rest day. Hallelujah the end of… Continue reading Ironman Training Summary Week 12
Triathlon is great sport for many reasons. One of the reasons I think so many people enjoy it is because of the social aspect of it. When I first got involved that made the sport so much better than just swimming, biking, and running. I established some great friendships and great training partners. Now my… Continue reading Doing My Own Thing
Oops. Posting this a week late! What a difference from week 10! I felt like I struggled through week 10 and I was pretty pissed at myself. Well I guess I was ready to kick some ass during week 11 because that I did. I had some of my best workouts physically and mentally. Again,… Continue reading Ironman Training Summary Week 11
I knew Monday night that I needed to get all of my stuff packed for the pool Tuesday morning. I also knew it was the coldest day all week with the high being 6 and the low being something insane with the windchill. I am lucky that I park in the garage so I would… Continue reading -11* and a long swim
This was quite the week. I think the fact that I made it 10 weeks before having a crappy one is pretty good. I don’t even think my crappy week had anything to do with the workouts or it being 1/3 hard weeks in a row. So we put an offer in on the house… Continue reading Ironman Training Week 10 Summary
It was my easy week! It was kind of a weird week because it was so easy. I also haven’t had to work since December 23rd so I think it felt even easier because I wasn’t in my normal rush to get everything done. I did try to soak up the easy workouts because I… Continue reading Ironman Training Week 9 Summary
