Good week so far, a couple of good sessions, I had a great swim workout on Monday, did a threshold swim holding best time averages, so know excuses for Oceanside not to be up with the main group.
Monday swim- M.S short and sweet with short rest, went 400m(4:46, 300m(3:42),200(2:23),100-107 arms dead, got mad pushed another 100 (1:05). So i am swimming well being tired but it doesnt mattter what you do in training it matters what you do in the race, so i hope to swim well at Oceanside.
A couple of good bike sessions this week, another good brick with 5x5mins at race pace holidng 250-260watts the wattage i need to hold 40-42kph on a flat course with my bodyweight at 134. Wattage seemed good, so i am hoping all is well, i am gradually improving but i know i am going to have to suffer out there with those animals on saturday. A couple of good run workouts, 1 track 1 brick a couple of easy runs, an aerbobic swim. Today i had a good day, 30minute run and a swim workout with 5x150m race pace, 150 easy, and 8x50 at race pace, and some other stuff. Then i had a great opportunity to meet a legend Jim Hoyt who owns Richardson Bike Mart in Texas and originally sponsored lance and helped him out. Thanks to jack i got to meet Jim and Jim gave me a pair of zipps to try out at Ocean side, so i need to thank Jack for helping me get that contact in short time. And i definatly need to thank Jim. It was pretty neat becauase i remember reading about Jim and that Richardson Bike Mart in "its not about the bike." Oh well i will report more when race is done.
Thanks for reading,
