I’m on spring break in an Rv with a bum knee. No bike and no running. I can feel my bony ass getting fat - even though I’m not.

Great training weekend - 2k swim after work Friday, 11 mile run Saturday, 2:15 bike + 7 mile run Sunday. Sunday workout felt great - no fatigue at all. Salt and nutrition is a lot better this time around. Taking it easy today. I hit 3 bike workouts, 2 runs, 1 swim and 1 brick last week.

This race prep is different than Waco. I’m a lot less nervous about it. It’s weird because I don’t think I’m doing enough training because I’m not exhausted all the time but I know that if I stick to the plan, I’ll be ready.

Like an idiot did speed work 2 days in a row and now pulled a hammy. I did run a 5:33 mile.

Oof. 

I was telling my wife yesterday that I feel like I’m back in the zone for training after my back and toe issue. I’m in a good spot and making progress. Bike is getting better. I did some speed intervals for the first time a few days ago and did speed work running yesterday. Easy bike this morning for 1:15. Big weekend coming up for a long ride and run.

Did my first century on the bike today. Coincidentally the eight year anniversary of being diagnosed with stage 3 colorectal cancer. Now I need to find motivation to swim, and do bricks.

2:45 on the bike yesterday with a 6 mile run after. 11 mile run this morning. Swimming tomorrow. Grinding it out.

@Clintonaldohows the hammy?

Felt good last week and then I ran faster than I should have yesterday and aggravated it. I’ve been doing some 2 hour spin sessions and swimming a lot. It sounds like you are ready for your race.

Not quite ready yet. I still need my long ride (3+ hours) and one more long brick, then I’ll be set. I’m about 6 weeks out and training is going a lot better this time around.

I need to get into the pool as well. I’ve been concentrating the majority of my training on the bike this go around. I have neglected the pool, but I need to swim more.

You can spend hours swimming to gain 1 minute so to me it’s not worth it. Today was a rest day so I swam 1,400 at a 1:58 pace.

I don’t remember how much you tapered last year but for a 70.3 I would just do race week.

Correct, taper for Waco was just race week. I did one shorter session of each discipline Monday - Wednesday.

Your rest/easy pace is my normal swim lol

Thanks. It’s not pretty but I got it done. There are guys where I go that can lap me in 200 yards. It’s very humbling.
