Transition To 2103 Training Complete

    

Yesterday was the final day of my transition from maintenance training to serious base training for the 2013 triathlon season. Compared to most, my training during the past 4-5 weeks may have been higher in volume but I still feel behind after my break from triathlons. The intensity has been on the low side through this stretch and will remain on the low side during the next 6-8 weeks of building some serious base. I also figured it best to start a little earlier than others but I need to take advantage of winter break and a less hectic coaching schedule. The focus will remain on volume of training and remain very low on intensity. With my goals  for the 2013  season, it will take a solid aerobic base before the quality begins.
