What Am I On????

  

9 weeks of Base 1 complete. At least 3 weeks remain or possibly 4 if I should decide to just take Base 1 till the end of February. With looking at possibly not racing till late May or June, there is not a need to jump into a lot of intense training. I can honestly say that the past 9 weeks have me in the best shape I have been in a long time. I am nowhere near race shape but my aerobic fitness is at a very high level. My soleus now feels 100% and I will be changing the training around a bit to get my running to 25-30 miles by the end of February. I also want to be up to a 10-12 mile run every other week by then. My swimming continues to go well and the focus will remain on endurance through February.  I am starting to believe that biking my be strong point right now and that may be advantage for me over the flat bike course at Eagleman. I am really beginning to believe that my goal of 23.5-24.0 mph over the 56 mile course will be easily possible.

The concerted effort to eat better continues! Still some healthy salads at every lunch in the cafeteria. It has a few people concerned but do not fret - the ice cream still continues!

People ask....what am I on? What am I am on? I am on my bike 6-8 hours a week, in the pool 1.5-2 hours a week and on the roads 1.5-2 hours a week......and of course caffeine and moose tracks!

Kona 2013! It is on!
