It is now official I have my race fee and my USAT membership paid for so there is no backing out now. I will be doing the Lake Stevens Ironman 70.3 (may have to get a tat afterwards).
Feb 18-24 week one of training:
This is my first official week of triathlon training so I am back in the pool on a regular basis and in the saddle as well. I have been running the past month with sporadic pool visits and some short rides on the trainer. I have decided to use a different training plan than last year. Last year's was free this year's I have paid for and it has a lot more detail and looks more challenging. So far so good. Mondays are my consistent day off and weekends are built for long rides and runs and brick workouts. This plan has more detail in the pool which is nice and the run portion has more specific dills as well (which I need).
Tuesday:
30 min run and a 60 min ride (from last year's plan I didn't have my hands on my new one yet).
I did the run and made it 35 mins and skipped the bike because I had an allergy attack from my roomie's flowers. I took a Benadryl and was out until morning (only saw bits and pieces of the bachelor) :(. Nothing like starting the first day of training cheating but onward and upward I say.
Wednesday:
30 min run with 8x30sec sprints worked in.
Swim: 1,400yd total.
300yd Warm up
8 x 25yd ( 10 second rest)
4 x 100yd ( 5 second rest)
8 x 25yd kick only ( 15 second rest)
300yd cool down.
The run was done on the treadmill so that I could do it all in one place and I loved the sprint work it makes the time go by fast but it is not easy that is for sure. After that it was off to the pool. The swim work was great I never really worked on short sprint in the pool or just doing legs but it was a nice change to help build strength. All in all happy with it and was able to be home by 11:20PM HECK YEAH!!!!!
Today is just a 60 min ride and I will be doing that on the good ole trainer. Until next time.
