BIKE
This weeks focus is the bike with both intense sessions spent in the saddle. Run and swim sessions are at a minimum. Race Prep: How you will carry fuel during the race? How much? Can you depend on race-provided calories and drink? How will you refill on the race course? Put these answers you find during these long rides into your training journal--not in today's entry but in the calendar days during race week where you'll find it.
