Training's been great recently. My volume's gone way up so I'm hovering pretty close to 20 hours now. This week is recovery/mini taper as we head toward the Waco Triathlon this weekend. It's been 5 weeks since Hy-Vee so I'm looking forward to getting into a multisport race. The competition should be pretty good so it looks to be a lot of fun.
I think the biggest challenge recently has been the heat. Doing hard and long afternoon workouts when it's over 100 degrees is tough! I don't know if it's possible to drink enough. So far it's been 80 when I wake up in the morning and the temp only goes up from there. Weather aside, everything's been great. All three sports are definitely coming along. I'm feeling a lot faster in my quality sessions, especially on the bike. All the long rides and hard interval sessions are already paying off. I adjusted my seat height yesterday because I've been feeling a little cramped, then I realized it's been two years (two years!) since I moved my seat up. I did a short, fast trainer session yesterday and it felt a lot better. I think this is going to have a big impact on my race performance.
I'm heading down to Waco with Jacquelyn tomorrow and we're staying at a friend's apartment so as to avoid the hotel fee...should be fun! Thanks for reading!
