Training is in full effect with a C race (Southern Ultra Relay) and 2 A Races within striking distance after that. Coach Sami has upped the bike mileage with a 50 miler on Sunday with the Salty Turtle Beer Company Bicycle Club and strength sessions on the trainer on both Friday and Tuesday. I like bike training, it makes me feel strong!
Running is going better than it has in years. I am finally consistent and what a difference that has made. Silly that it took me 8 years in the sport to learn that periodization does not mean full out or not at all ;-) Ok ok, maybe I *knew* that - but I really did not want it to be true... it is so true! I am actually even liking running and may have had a moment of a runner's high during one of my push miles on Saturday.
Swimming is my happy place. I even learned 2 new drills this week!
Training Totals Jan 5-Jan11:
Swim: 5151 yds
Bike: 83.4 miles
Run: 18.5 miles (+4 more tonight)
