Welcome back!
This is my motivational picture. In a totally down to earth kind of guy way. Its nice to see your work come to fruition.
Well today started about the same as usual. Today was a heavy workout day which included a workout for all three sports. The run was a race pace 5k. Started out at my normal pace but kicked it up a little too much towards the end. According to my Garmin GPS/Heart Rate monitor I was playing with a HR (heart rate) of around 190 when I bonked at a little under three miles. I would have completed the 5k in under 18mins but I think the lack of breakfast killed me.
The Swim today was similar to yesterday. Ended up with around 2750 yards. The workout was once again a sprint style set workout but my training partner and I threw in a good paced 500 right in the middle. Here is a basic break down of the workout.
10×50’s, 10×100’s, 25,50,75,100,200 ladder, 500, 20×25’s
The bike workout was the last of the day. The weather was suprisingly good and I had to take advantage of it. Ended up with 22miles at about 75% effort. Did a couple of good hills on the WSU Vancouver campus for good measure. Did the workout on my Seven today as the Time Trial/Tri bike is still out of comission. With 34 days to go I’m still throwing it down pretty hard. Tapering really wont start till about a week before the race because I am still gaining fitness at a great rate.
