Crazy few weeks. Preparing to move, big weeks of training, family in town...never ends. Training is going well. I'm still not getting any lighter, but I'm feeling strong on long runs. Had a few good swims in the pool too. Hopefully I can finally find a descent routine in a few weeks....maybe. I trimmed back the total volume but tried to bump up intensity a little to compensate. I dropped some easy rides... and a few swims. But my run CTL is at a all time record including last year. It just crossed 50 TSS/day. So on average I'm running the equivalent of about a 10k easy run every day.
Looking forward to Racine. It will be very much a "B" race but I plan to put myself in a good position to have a descent day similar to Steelhead last year. I think right now... assuming it's a typcial swim, maybe a normal 29xx swim, then roll a 2:12 or so and run a 1:25 and eek out a PR in a 2:11. Then, if the weather is descent, maybe finally crack the 4:10 mark at Steelhead.
After Racine, there's just 2 more training blocks then taper. It's been a long road.
