I finished up week six a few days ago, just haven't gotten around to writing it up yet. For this week, I ended up logging about 143 miles and . My big workouts of the week were a 9 mile run, a 55 mile bike/2.5 mile run brick, and a 2 mile swim.
The 9 mile run consisted of 75 minutes easy, and 25 minutes at basically tempo pace. I did the last 25 at a bit under 9 min/mile. I was very happy with that, especially considering I did that after running for 75 minutes already. The brick was my best workout of the season so far. After running into an old training coach from charlotte, who told me I really needed pick up my mileage I started doing more flat rides of more distance. This was another of those, I averaged around 18 mph for 3 hours, then did 2.5 miles of running after. The run felt surprisingly good, as I expected my legs to feel sluggish, however I felt surprisingly fresh. I certainly wore out towards the end, but that may have been due to the fact that the final half mile was up hill. I was ecstatic about that workout and it gave me a lot of motivation going forwards. My long swim was 3500 yards, or roughly 2 miles. It was a mental grind, as it consisted of 2 sets of 1500 yards that was not easy to get through. Felt like a very long day, but I made it.
So for the week I logged about 14 hours and 143 miles. Very happy with my progress so far, but still a long road to go.
