Another nice day here in Poky. So I did my Inkom TT ride, which is about 38km. Felt strong for first quarter, and just "ok" the rest of the way. Strong winds both ways. Overall, this ride compared almost exactly equal to the last Inkom TT ride I did right before my last triathlon of last year. Combined with the fact that I did a 5.8mile run pushing Paul this morning, I guess I'm in a bit better shape than end of last year, but I really don't know how much that run affected me (and I didn't eat lunch!). I'm a bit concerned that I averaged only 19.10 mph for the ride. I thought I would come in better than that. But that last TT of last year, I used three shots of gel and only one this time, but it was 55 degrees instead of 88 (what my notes say). I guess there's no use in over-analyzing it.
The run with Paul this morning was nice. Somehow, I am still pushing 9 minute miles with him. The chariot rides REALLY smooth!
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.
