This week is panning out as scheduled. Today I did a six mile run at lunch instead of the usual five. The time was slow (8:25 miles) for my effort level, but overall it was a good run.
I thought about not riding my bike tonight after work because my legs must be getting tired based on the run at lunch. But I went anyway, and it turned out great. I got close to my PR times, only a minute off for 25 miles, and I didn't put forth a great effort. There was some serious headwind on the way out, and I let it get to me mentally, even though I know the wind normally "averages out" on an out n back route, and it certainly did tonight. This was a tough workout mentally more than physically. I'm glad I did it.
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.
