I'm a family guy who is addicted to swim/bike/run and anything to do with getting out into the backcountry wilderness areas. This blog focuses on the swim, bike, run and other various aspects of my attempts to finish in the top ten percent of my age group in whatever race I do. It used to be all about finishing the legs of an Olympic Distance triathlon: swim in 20 minutes, bike in 60 minutes, and run in 40 minutes. Now, it's more about training well and finishing well.

Taking a break
I've decided to take a bit of an unscheduled reduction in volume. I've been quite tired lately, and I think I've overreached a bit recently. I've slept well the last two nights now that Tera is back home, and I still feel pretty tired. The last few workouts, I didn't feel any power whatsoever, although I had some endurance, for my legs anyway. My upper body feels alright. I'm going to take tomorrow off, too, from running or biking, and then see how Thursday goes for my muscular endurance bike workout. This is kind of the time when I'm just listening to my body. Also, I'm not terribly excited about the biking workouts like I used to be, either, so I figure I just need to back off a bit. July and August are a long way off, still.
