Subject: RE: 5.3.16 Tuesday Training Good night BT! (Almost. Don't actually have to get up early tomorrow but have run out of stuff I feel like doing, so might head off to bed. )
Lucky me, "testing time" is the first three days after my HIM. Guess that might be a good thing and get me off my feet a bit, unless my butt's too sore to sit.
Anyway, last mini-brick (or anything really intense ) before the race:
1:10 trainer ride with some fairly nasty (but fairly short ) 85-100% FTP pickups
20 minute run after
In other news, owing to a chemical spill in central Vietnam, there is now a chance that my "HIM" will become a duathlon. Not too thrilled about that. (Unlike most triathletes, the swim is often my favorite part of a race. And, in some cases, it's the leg I'm most competitive in. I suspect not because I'm really a better swimmer than runner, but because there are a lot of triathletes who are decent runners, but not so many with a swim background. Plus in tropical conditions, it's really nice to start the bike pre-cooled and pre-moistened! ) |
