Yea, so as usual I haven't been updating this blog. Here's another write up of last week. I'll try and remember to write up yesterday and today tonight, but likely, I'll forget, but alas, I digress.
So I made a huge increase in mileage last week. I did 146 miles in a total of 12 hours. I did a couple long rides this week, including a 28 miler up the parkway and my long ride of 50.5 miles. The parkway ride was extremely difficult with about 2500 feet of climbing or so all one way. I rode along riverside rd back and forth multiple times. This week also included an Olympic distance Triathlon, the race report will be written up in a separate entry on here. The long ride felt good in my legs, however my sit bones were in agony towards the end. I'm hoping that was mainly due to having been on the bike for a while the day before in the race. The swimming is going very well. I have the bi-lateral breathing down very well now and am comfortable breathing out of the left side as well. With this came increased speed. I'm about 4-5 seconds faster per 100 now at the same effort level just by breathing out of both sides. Running is improving the slowest and I hope the bike and swim can make up for what I'm lacking in the run.
All in all this week really kicked up the training to a whole new level, and I guess I can assume its going to keep going at this rate. The prep period is clearly over and training is getting going hard core now.
