Fred D's Ironman/Half-Ironman focused Mentor Group --CLOSED (Page 79)

The one I do not do.  While I can never get the training back I do get the rest.  I don’t miss many workouts when healthy.

Today I was planning to ride outside after a nap.  I woke up to late so it was a trainer ride instead. 

Good morning! Glorious rest day on tap for me.

I did not swim last night but it is not the end of the world. I did the key workout and strength.  It will be the most challenging part of maintaining the plan is the late swims - our local options are all late evening swims and the coached group is 7:30pm-8:45pm so it gets us home late but up early to do the next day's workout.  I am thinking a few of these random wednesdays or thursdays may be where i use vacation days to maintain some sanity through training and work.

tasr - 2012-03-09 9:09 AM Tempo run in 15mph wind gust 25mph not as well as I hoped. On the positive side I know how I will feel in these conditions. The other flip side. This run was done on tired legs, but fresh running legs. If that makes sense. Next week will be another longer tempo run. Tonight maybe a short spin on the CT. Have a great day of training.

Nice job getting it done.  I hate the wind when I want to hit paces.  Now, I just throw the pace out the window and run by RPE when its that windy.

Today was sleep in friday.  I am going to do a VO2 ride in a bit and then head off to the hockey tournament.  Should be a fun weekend.

Probably will not be checking in this weekend but have a good weekend.  It is supposed to be real nice here in the midwest...the outdoor biking is fast approaching.

I slacked off Wednesday so tried to cram it in yesterday.  Probably not the greatest idea...    CT in the a.m., 6 mile run at 5:30 then 3200 at masters at 6:30.  Run actually felt really good, and not too tired today, so... 

But the big drive by brag is that back in Sept. I set 205 as my goal race weight for Calif. 70.3.  I had beem racing at 225-240 for years, finally decided to own my body composition.  This morning weighed in at 204.8 

awesome!!!!!!!  Congrats Chris!!!

looks like I am in for similar conditions as well for my speed run.  They keep saying the wind will die down after today though.  Of course I do not believe them...

Well done Chris, thats a good loss.

went for a run at lunch. just 3 more days of shift left this week..

Congratulations Chris!

Chris way to go! 

Keep at it my man, it will only get better.

I had a lazy morning today.  No priorities on the list. 
 
Heading out for a short run in a bit and hopefully a productive CT ride tonight.   

Welcome home Fred!
 
Tomorrow I have a medium distance run then work in the afternoon.  Looks like all next week will be great opportunities to ride out side.  Enjoy the ride.

Today will be a long day for me.  Up before the crack of dawn and I will be awake until sometimes after 2AM.  Maintenance tonight.  There are days I hate my job.  Kidding, soft of.  This part and on call are for sure not my favoriate part.

Long run today but I might shorten it and do the long ride next weekend instead.  Today is 3:40 + run and next week is 3:15 with no run.  Reason being Tina is actually in town and she won't be next week.  I do not think this will hurt me going into taper.  It would be different if it was the run but the bike is so low impact.  I hate messing with the schedule this way but it's all a balancing act between training and life right?
