Last week was a decent week for training - I am finally getting some miles on the bike and not hating it - my new set up is really comfortable and I seem to be getting used to it.
Early in the week I headed to Ft Lauderdale to train with a client - I was able to get some running done (in 95 degree temps), some mountain biking and went for a 42 miler with Jimi. When I got back I was able to do an aero incline workout on Friday, medium paced 10 miler on Saturday and 43/5 on Sunday.
Sunday was pretty encouraging - we rode from Windermere and mostly on Avalon Rd - we put in a Good pace for the 43 miles and then ran off the bike - ran the first 2.5 miles in 6:25 pace then backed it down to 7:25 for the last 2.5 miles - I felt decent running, not great but decent.
This weekend is prep race number 2 - same course as the race in July - the goal for this race is to improve my opening run which was a 5:56 pace last race - and then to see how long it takes me to feel decent on the bike. We are trying to get that opening run fast and recovery time short going in to Powerman.
I would also like to run slightly faster for the second run - about 6:30 pace last time - and see if i can get that to about 6:15 pace - that would make me happy.
Happy training - be careful this week with the rains coming it might be best to train inside for the next several days
