245 days till Ironman Arizona

Today is monday, and I had two great long distance workouts this weekend. Saturday I ran 6 miles, at a 10:45 minute pace.  My HR averaged on 156.  I love seeing such huge improvement on that account. 
Yesterday I did my longest bike ride to date(this season).  I rode for 40 miles, did it in 2 hrs and 34 minutes, with a pace of 16 mph.  Much faster than I've been riding, but there were also far less hills than I'm accustomed too.  Even still, I was very happy with it, as there were still plenty of steep hills out there.  My HR was a very comfortably low 141 for the ride. Far lower than I've experienced before.
All in all, it was a great weekend of training to head in to my recovery(or taper) week, leading into my first race of the season on Sunday.  I'm excited, confident, and ready to kick butt!  See ya soon Huntersville!
