Subject: RE: Fred D's Ironman/Half-Ironman focused Mentor Group --CLOSEDGot out of work late last night, so ran on the treadmill before masters, including 4 x 1/4 mile at 10K pace, then did (most of) the masters swim afterwards. Got the main set in, 2X: (500 on 7:30, 5 x 100 on 1:30 working the 100s). Last hard-ish swim workout. Tomorrow is an easy 2 hour ride with some race pace efforts, maybe a short run after. Sunday is 6 mile run, possibly a swim. Then full on taper Weather obsession. It's amazing how many times, even during a day, that the weather on a chosen date in the future can change. Race day has gone from 71 and sunny to 61 and rain, and everything in between, several times. Currently forecasting rain, which stresses me out. I've got experience riding in the rain, I would just slow down. The course doesn't have a lot of turns and isn't very technical. Just adds stress to the day. It will be what it's going to be. Ideally would be overcast and 65. Perfect conditions for me And I know there's nothing I can do about it.... |
