Originally posted by Hot Runner 1:10 of FTP intervals this morning (6 X 4 minutes at 92-110% with 2-minute recoveries. That hurt! Tons more intensity than I have been doing.) I have been doing fine with moderate stuff so suddenly it seems my coach thinks I'm in good shape for such stuff. Not. Followed by a pretty slow 20-minute brick run. It feels like I did a sprint tri, minus the swim.

Originally posted by Hot Runner Maybe for run and bike, not for swim LOL. I'm doing a half-marathon in September and then really want to focus on the bike, which has always been my weakness. Not planning any other fall events as starting a new job at the end of August. Hoping I can get back to outdoor riding before weather gets too cold for it. I have access to a nice rural MUP and smoother roads in Oregon (moving back in three weeks). And in winter, biking is something I can easily get in at home, morning or night, in any weather. Right now my goal for swimming is just to wean myself off the fins. I am up to 4 X 100 without them within a 2200 yard workout. With them on (and the wetsuit), I've swum up to 900m in the lake with no break (2000m total). That is still a far cry from a race-legal half-iron swim, though!
