This week didn’t quiet go according to my training schedule but for one reason or another, I spent most of the week in pain. I did make each training session count.
I thought I would take on the Scottsdale ride again only hitting it four days prior but this time I took the time trial bike. If it was hard going on the road bike, this time it killed a small piece of me inside on the TT bike. I enjoy talking to the old guy in a small shop at Scottsdale, we joke that anyone who doesn’t do the Scottsdale ride must be home knitting tea pot covers (looking at him, i think he would struggle walking to the front door). According to the heart rate monitor, I burned a little over 4000 calories on this ride
I have only recently started running on grass, people have been telling me to do it for a few years. I do admit that running on grass I can see a big improvement with me running (it is not hard to improve when you are already a crap runner)
Very disappointing in the pool this week having missed out on my Sunday swim. To make things worse I will be on holiday with the family next week in Melbourne and Sydney. This means no bike. I may be able to get a swim in somewhere and a few runs but my training will be non existence. Not the best way to be with 12 weeks out of an Ironman.
This week training was 12.5 hours with
Swim: 2 sessions
Bike: 3 rides
Run: 3 runs
Gym: 1
Weight: 84kg (I bet I will weigh another 2kg more after a week on holidays)
Looking back, it was a bit of a non event week........ sorry about that as well.
