Well, at least it wasn't 102 degrees this time. It was just 64, windy, and chilly. Headwinds that picked up all day long did not make this an easy ride, but my goal of 115 was accomplished and actually expanded to a 120 mile ride. This ride gave the confidence to know that I can do the 112 distance. This ride also set me up for a nice 112 bike and medium run after. I had a good week this week. I did the 120 mile ride plus two other rides during the week. I also got in a nice long run of 15 miles and 2:30 hours. This week I want to keep the pressure up as this is my last regular full week. I will do my 4000 yd swim this week, a 16 mile run, and a long brick next weekend. I'll have a rest week next week then I enter my two peak weeks. I like the position I'm in right now. I haven't burned myself out. I haven't tired myself out. I've built myself up nice and slow to some nice distance. Now it is time to lay down the hammer when it counts. I want to get up to an 18 mile run, 4300 yd swim, and I'd like to do one 8-10 workout day. I was over 7 yesterday, so I should be able to get there. In addition to those workouts, I'm going to add more swims and runs during the week. I'd like to do 4 swims a week through my taper, 4 runs per week up until my taper, and keep my three rides per week through my taper. I really want to get my legs ready for that kind of wear and tear that I'll experience on race day. And since I am comfortable with the fact that I won't get burned out at this point, it seems logical that now is the time to really go for it. Next week, during my rest week, I'm going to do some work on my bike to get it ready and put some time into race detail, including strategy, clothing, and nutrition/hydration work. Enjoy the stats from the ride. Activity
