Last week was a light training week Monday through
Saturday. Only 4.5 hours. Such sloth.
Then there was a matter of this little race.
More on the race later. For now, the week in summary.
Monday: A quick 2700 meter aerobic swim in the morning.
Packing for the race in the evening.
Tuesday: A 19 mile bike-3 mile run brick at Hains Point
in the morning, followed by bike
drop-off at Sarah’s place in the evening.
Wednesday: Rest day, used to finish all the packing
checklists.
Thursday: Easy 2200 yard swim in the morning, followed by
half a day of work and then part of the drive to Louisville.
Friday: Remainder of the drive to Louisville, followed by
check in and a 1:15 bike-run brick.
Saturday: 20 minute swim in the Ohio River, 10 minutes of
biking to make sure it was in good working order, and then a lot of laying
down, stretching, napping, and hydrating.
Sunday: 2.4 miles of swimming in 1:08, 112 miles of
biking in 7:03, and 26.2 miles of running (plus walking) in 5:48. Total race time of 14:12.
