It's been a while....

So I haven't written anything since my race last week. Good reason for that. Last weeks training was garbage. I missed most of my workouts, didn't do any training this past weekend, and well, it's just been really tough. Lots of responsibilities lately and getting my morning and evening workouts in has been super tough. I'm hoping that this week gets me back on track. I'm just not used to waking up at 5:30, probably because i've been going to bed at 11. I have to get back in the habit of 9-10 pm bedtime, and just sucking it up and getting out of bed when that alarm goes off. I'm actually less tired right now, despite less sleep and the workout than if I slept later. Anyway, I did get in a fairly long workout yesterday. I did a 27.5 mile bike ride in a little over an hour and a half. I love that ride, except for a small stretch where the road is terrible. But it's a really fun ride with one substantial climb and then a lot of other rollers. I did an easy run this morning on the treadmill, and my HR monitor was being really weird. There's no way I was running a 180+ HR while going at a 10 min/mile pace. I'm missing more swimming workouts than I have in the past, but seeing as how that's been my strong suit I'm ok with it. I've been doing all I can to not miss time on the bike. Not only is it the longest leg, but it's going to be the one that has the most impact overall. Being strong on the bike carries over to the run. But anyway, I just registered for Ironman Augusta, so I'm very excited about that. I don't know how it's going to go because I just don't have faith that I'm going to do well with my training. Actually, now that I think about it, it shouldn't be a problem. Now that I"ve lost my job it should be pretty easy to get my training in. Well, hopefully I'm writing again soon cause that means that I've been doing my training. Until then
