25 weeks of training down and 10 to go. Here's where it gets interesting.
Eagleman Half Ironman is 25 days away. But it's coming at a great time. It will occur at the end of the 29th week of training with 6 to go to IM. It's great timing because it represents a change in the monotony. It's an opportunity and test to see how fit you are and if you need to work extra hard the 3 weeks following before tapering to lake Placid.
Saturday was the start of the "long rides". Saturday is always the long ride for the bike but now it gets serious. This past Saturday: 77 miles followed by a 15 minute run.
This week, Memorial Day weekend, we get a break. A 3 hour ride. Time to enjoy the day off because it gets doubled on May 3o to 6 hours. Joy!
Time to stock up on Gatorade, Cliff Bars, Z Bars and Snickers!
Yesterday was an official day off. Today was not. But I took it anyway because I was flat out exhausted. Plus, I normally ride before work and it was 45 degrees out. Sorry, done with that this year. Gotta be warmer.
However, I will make up the 90 minute ride tomorrow or Thursday. I will need to double up workouts. Can't miss anything from here on in.
Last night around 10, I was so looped I couldn't stand up. Tonight is better.
The knee's have been holding up. Someone knock some wood for me. Thanks.
Masters Swim tomorrow morning at 6 AM sharp. Can't wait! Really....I can't.
We were all complaining Saturday about getting up early constantly to get the workouts in. Can't wait for it to be over. The problem is that when it's over, you don't know what to do with yourself. You go through withdrawal. But I'll figure it out.
Well, time to start heading toward bed.
Somewhere "there's "kite blowing out of control on a breeze."
And so am I.

Sounds like training is going well, *knocking on wood* for you now :D
Yes, sounds like training is going well! Good that the weather is finally starting to cooperate.
Regarding your comment on my post... the tri training camp was open to anyone, and there will be other ones during the season. I'll put updates on my blog.
As for the velodrome clinic, that one was just for women, but there was a guy's clinic the day before. The velodrome may run them again this summer. I'll put info on the blog, but you can also check thevelodrome.org. If you've never tried the track, I highly recommend it! It would only be a couple hours drive for you.
