Subject: RE: disturbed275's Mentor Group - Closed!mikoy - 2011-02-28 10:38 AM Well, I had a hard weekend. I went 5 hours on the bike on Sat. The weather was bad with winds gusting to about 50-60mph, so I did it all on the trainer. I am guessing that based on my average ride that I would have gone about 85 miles. I have to say that my legs were really sore and painful. I am now extremely scared for IMSG. I just do not know how Im going to do 6-7 hours on a bike and then run a marathon. This is the first time I have wanted to quit. Any advice on how to stay motivated, or how to metally get through this we be most welcomed.
Well I was in Vegas over the weekend and can attest to how windy it was. The thing with Ironman training is that you are going to have bad days. The training is a long grind and they're bound to pop up. Just stick with the plan and keep heading out there and I guarantee that you will have good days too. By the time race days rolls around, trust in plan, trust in your training and let the adrenaline carry you through the day. You'll be amazed on race day what your body can attain |
