Almost Time To Start On The Base

   

It finally to a force of nature to get me on the indoor trainer. This fall has been very seasonable and dry till this point and I have been able to ride outside everyday. Yeah, there were some chilly mornings but the saving grace this fall has been what I consider a lack of high winds. There have been some breezy mornings but nothing what I would consider truly windy. But for the next few days here we will be dealing with "Frankenstorm" or Hurricane Sandy. With all the social media out there now, I find it funny that somebody even created a twitter account for so called storm. Thankfully I will only need to be indoors for 3 days as one of the days is a track workout and swim day. Now, the big question is.....will I be able to avod the "dreadmill"???

Training continues to go well and I am getting excited to get started on my 70.3 training. My swim workouts have been going well and the only thing left is to start building some volume in my running. I am hoping that I can consistently be around 30-35 miles per week by the end of November then prepare to build to the 40-45 range.

New training totals:

Bike - 5 rides/ 153 miles/ 7.13 hours/ 21.4 mph
Runs - 4 runs/ 23.5 miles/ 2.85 hours/ 7:16 per mile

With track & field starting this week, I will be quickly working on a new training schedule. The academic year gets crazier now; but I would not have it any other way!
