14 Weeks Away "JFT"

Back at it. After a tired and disappointing ITU race in Quebec I am back in Texas, training and getting ready for World70.3 Championships in Clearwater in less than 14weeks. The last couple of months have been rough racing 3 long course races and 2 ITU races in a short period of time, the travel and the lack of recovery between events caused me to have a sub par performance at nationals. However each race was fun and even though i am tired and the legs and body didn't respond on the weekend, i now feel fitter than ever and really motivated for the block a head. Getting ready for Worlds is going to be a process i am going to be doing lots of Fun races for Training and maybe another ITU race later on if the timing works, if not the ITU racing will be put on hold till January or so. Anyways it should be an interesting 14 weeks to say the least.
Here is how the training has gone since nationals, my body felt fine afterwords because being tired i wasn't able to hit it and smash my body to badly on the run.

Monday- was a 90min spin on my bike in Orillia with Carley it was very easy and it was nice just to get out and do something after the drive from Quebec.

Tuesday- 5k swim with 8x300 alternating 1 fast and 1 ez on 4mins, then into 5x100m fast on 130. A little 30min run and i was off to Texas.

Wednesday- 5k swim Volume main set was 6x500m 2pull on 6:30 and 1ez swim on 7mins.
Afternoon- a hot workout, being around 100 degrees i did a big run workout that involved running 5x1mile intervals on a very hilly and windy stretch of trail, i like this mile course because it is a very Challenging stretch. It was a nice break from the track or road but it was not very forgiving. With a big wu and cool down, and a little core/strength it was a decent day. Logg it!

Thursday(today)- This morning was another 5k Swim workout logged, some more threshold/volume. The mainset was 6x100, followed by 500pull, this set i did 3x, with the 100's on short rest it forced me to swim fast which will be a common theme for next 14 weeks as it will be important for me to swim with the leaders in Clearwater without Taxing the body. Now that i think about it i am probably going to have to swim fast, bike evne faster and then have the run of my life. So all 3 disciplines will be hit hard for the next few months. This afternoon will be spent on the bike, for an aerobic recovery ride. Its another hot one, in the DFW.
