My goal this week was consistency, and I got most of it. I hit every workout this week, except yesterday morning's bike ride, and I still think that sleeping in and getting a bit of recovery was the right decision. I essentially tried to double my bike volume in one week, which everyone should recognize as both dumb and unrealistic. That's two weeks in a row of consistent training, but with alot more volume this week.
I'm tracking the results of consistent running. In mid-January, I expect to have a nice graph that can show how much improvement the consistency is providing. Notice the word "expected"........I'm positive the results will be there based on what the chart currently looks like; I just have to maintain another four weeks of consistency. There are a couple of variables that are interesting to think about, too.
Next week is Christmas. Last night, we went to Collin Raye's Christmas show here in Pocatello. It was really awesome and got me into the Christmas spirit for sure.
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.
