Well, I just finished my third week of training. Things are still going great. I'm still enjoying it and not dreading training sessions. So far I've completed 235 miles on the bike, in the running shoes, and in the pool and a total of 28.5 hours of training. I've only lost about 2-3 pounds so I suppose I've been taking in enough food.
I still spend a lot of time trying to put myself onto the ironman course, especially when I start facing difficult stretches in my workouts. These usually consist of climbing hills on the bike or running. I dislike hills very very much. And they're never long enough on the descent.
The annoying clicking sound seems to have gone away since I changed my shoes back to the cycling shoes. My running still sucks. I'm having to do about 12 min/miles in order to keep my HR under 150. My swimming on the other hand has been fantastic. Hit a new personal record of 3,000 yards in under an hour. All my swimming workouts have felt really good, both speed and distance workouts. Next week is a recovery week so the workouts will be toned down a little bit, and that will end the prep period. After that begins the base workout when the workouts will really start to ramp up. Can't wait!!!
