Well, it's coming up on 8 weeks to the Beach 2 Battleship Ironman. Training is going well, but I sure am tired. This training takes so much out of you all the time. This weekend will be a big training weekend for me. We did some speedwork this morning and then I swam. We leave for Canada tonight. Tomorrow I plan to ride the Muskoka 1/2 Ironman course. Saturday, I'm planning to swim and I may do the swim course twice to see what it's like to do 2.4 miles of swimming. Sunday is the 1/2 Ironman. Overall, I should get a lot of miles in over a 3 day period. We will see how it goes. I haven't had any rest days this week and I've done a bunch of speed work this week, wasn't really planning to do speed work, just kind of ended up that way. Anyhow, training is good. I've completed 3 Century rides so far. The first was in June, followed by a 3 mile run. The second was in August, followed by a 6.2 mile run (felt great). The last one was on August 29 in Erie, PA. I did the triathlon and finished the day with completing a Century ride and running another 4.5 miles for a total of .35 mile swim, 100 mile bike and 8 mile run. I actually felt really good throughout the whole thing. Snickers bars are good food. This weekend will be tough. Not as many miles at once, but going into a 1/2 Ironman untapered and tired will be interesting and a true test of my Ironman readiness. Thanks for reading. See you on the roads.
