It's been two weeks since the Pacific Crest race, and I still can't find any intensity during workouts. And the workouts I manage to get in are quite short. Example: over the weekend at Marine Corps drill, running barely four miles at sea level was nearly killing me. I got on the bike trainer this morning and could only manage 12 miles and 45 minutes before running out motivation. A 1,000 yard swim today was nice, only because I decided I shouldn't expect more than 1,000 yards as the FIRST SWIM IN TWO WEEKS(!).
What the heck is going on? I was hoping to have a great race next weekend here in my hometown, the first time my schedule has let me do this race. Not sure what's going to happen.
The psychology game is definitely the toughest piece to get together sometimes.
Maybe I need to get this book!!!!
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.
