Today is 14 days out from the race. I reviewed my training log from last year. I see I reported a moderate, regular amount of fatigue as well as being mentally tired of the workouts.
With an additional year of high volume training, I think both my body and mind have become stronger. After yesterday's 5k, I nailed the 2.4 mile swim and afternoon brick. Unfortunately I had some worries on my mind, and only slept about 2 hours. Still got out for my long ride this am. I followed the MS 50 bike route which conveniently runs past my house. I had my best training ride EVER. This is in stark contrast to last year's light entry for this workout which said, " felt lousy" , so lousy that I did not even save any metrics. But I do remember the.misery!
Next weekend, it will be time to start packing.
The following weekend, it's show time!
Aside from race preparations, I am also preparing myself for that post ironman cliff, which I hope not to fall off again this year. Signed up for some fall races, including the Newington Bike Olympic tri, the Women's trial, Hogssback half, Wineglass, and Philly. Thinking about the Lake Taramungus open water swim well.
