Well I got a little behind in a few of the post so instead of playing catch up I am just going to start with the beginning of Week 9. To start though this weekend is my first triathlon of the season and I am going BIG!!!! My first 70.3 of the season is on Sunday. I am doing Knoxville Rev 3. It is suppose to be a tough course, but I am excited about that though because it will hopefully give me a taste of what Wisconsin will be like.
Day 58: I always look forward to swimming at the Concourse. I think it is the outside pool! Today was a good day at the pool and I think all the drills that Coach Larry has us doing are really helping me with my breathing. I am also starting to get a good idea I think on how long this 2.4 miles swim will take me. I did 3,400 yds with 1,200 being drills and 2,200 swimming. It really does make a huge difference when you are swimming with people and you are all in this together. Joining masters was one of the best decisions I think I have made so I am not bored by myself in the pool!!!
Day 59: I forgot to mention on Monday I found my self taking a nap and almost missing Master Class. I really think I am starting to feel the tiredness of training and I still have 4 months to go. Since I have a 70.3 race this weekend I decided to skip the bike drills today and take a day of rest! I really enjoyed it a lot. I had some birthday money to spend so I took a trip to All 3 Sports and bought some new tri bike shoes and some new tri clothing!!!! I am so excited to wear something new for once! Tomorrow is a new day though and I will be heading up to Cartersville for swimming, biking and running!
Day 60: Today was an amazing day out at Cartersville. I was struggling this morning on the run so I only did two miles. Like always it was a 27 mile ride on the bike and I had a great ride! I tried out my new shoes and I think I like them. I am going to have to ride with them a few more times to really see. I hope I like them because I can't return them. =/ I also tried my new drink mix that is geared only for me, and I loved it. Overall I really had a great ride and since it is the last ride before my half I feel really good. The water was 70 degrees today at Lake Allatoona! I had a really good swim and even got hot in the water with my wetsuit. Today was a good today and I am feeling ready for my race this weekend.
Day 61: I'm going to keep this one short. I planned on running but with everything that I had to get done after work the run never happened. I really don't know how people really get all this training in with a full time job. It is really starting to worry me, but all I can do is do what I can and keep pushing forward. Today after work I had to get all pack because I am leaving right after work tomorrow and for some reason I just could not get organized and took me forever. Jordan and I also took tonight to go out for a nice dinner before we heads to Cleveland for a half marathon and I head to Knoxville for my 70.3.
Day 62: Driving day!!!! Today Misty and I drove to Knoxville for the Rev 3 Knoxville Half. We really lucked out, because it was suppose to rain and it never did. We had a nice relaxing 4 hour drive and made it without any problems!!!! Oh and I must say our hotel is clutch. The finish line is right out the back door of the hotel!!!! Looks like we don't have to walk far after we finish!
