So I'm mostly through my pivot from being a mountaineer to a triathlete once again. This past weekend I did a Sprint Triathlon down in Smithsville, VA and then the Cherry Blossom 10-miler with Judy in DC yesterday. Mostly encouraging results. Some interesting insights as well--perhaps a change to my training strategy/approach.
As it stands, I completed a half-marathon, a 10-miler and two sprint triathlons in the course of 22 days and I have IMNOLA70.3 sitting on my calendar for Sunday. Beyond Sunday stretches a 6-week period with just one race were I can get real serious about getting truly triathlon fit again. I'm very upbeat about where I'm at--there was a lot to be encouraged about this weekend. Much work to do of-course. I'll post a race report(s) on the weekend before I head off to New Orleans.
Last week's totals (remember, this is in the midst of a lot of racing on a modest training base):
swim: 5,550 yards
bike: 186 miles
run: 31 miles
time: 17:51
