    • Day 55

    BIKE
    • Time: 4h 00m
    • 4 hour ride in the hills if possible. If not in a hilly area, then switch into the big ring and push a lower cadence (65-75) for a time during the ride. Try to get the feeling of riding hilly terrain. Let terrain and strength/endurance dictate pace and effort levels on hills.
    • Practice steady hydration and nutrition throughout, keep stopping to a minimum (bathroom & food refills only).
    • Make this hilly, BUT spin up the hills. Keep HR down, high RPMS, and just work on smooth pedaling.
    SWIM
    • Time: 1h 00m
    • Distance: 3000.00 yards
    • WU: 300 warm up then swim 8x50 on 20" rest.
    • MS: 100/200/300/400/500/500 all with 10-20” rest. Last 500 should be ~3-5” faster per 100, than goal IM Pace.
    • For example, if the goal is 1:00 swim at IM - that would be 1:25/per 100/yd pace. So, the goal in the last 500 of this 2k set would be under 6:50 or 1:20-1:23 pace.
    • CD: Get a nice easy 300 cool down.
