I'm Tri'ing

2/22/16 - 2/28/16 Swim - 1 Bike - 2 Run - 1 Strength Training - 0 Weight to lose - 23.5 lbs Mileage (weekly / 2016)   Swim - 3000 yds / 25,450 yds miles      Bike - 57.5 miles / 313.2 miles   Run -0 miles / 70.74 miles Definitely a crappy week.  Rob thinks I was dealing with jet lag - I don't know but I couldn't get motivated, super tired and ended the week with a massive headache that I took about 12 hours to sleep off. But as I have been trying to do, live in the future not in the past.  I can't go back in time, I can't fix what I didn't do, all I can do is look to the future and keep moving. Last weekend was the last alcohol consumption until after the race and getting back on track with eating so I can lose some weight and get back in that wetsuit!!

2/8/16 - 2/21/16 Swim - 3 Bike - 1 Run - 4 Strength Training - 0 Weight to lose - 23.5 lbs Mileage (weekly / 2016)   Swim - 3800 yds / 22,450 yds miles      Bike - 27.7 miles / 239.7 miles   Run -23.53 miles / 70.74 miles I've grouped weeks 11 and 12 together, because I was on vacation week 12 and didn't get a chance to post an update for week 11 so figured it would be easier to combine. While I'm not happy with my training in week 12 there is nothing I can do about it now.  I did my best with what I had but going forward if I decide to do another full IM, then I need to keep vacation training in mind. We were in Hawaii and one would think that you would have great training.  We stayed with family so had to borrow the car and I didn't feel comfortable asking to borrow the car.   The beach that we stayed at was nice but the depth of the water was barely up to your hips and it had lots of rocks and coral.  I attempt...

2/1/16 - 2/7/16 Swim - 2 Bike - 1 Run - 2 Strength Training - 0 Weight to lose - 23.5 lbs Mileage (weekly / 2016)   Swim - 3600 yds / 18,650 yds miles      Bike - 22 miles / 212 miles   Run -9.75 miles / 47.21 miles This was a recovery week for me and I probably took a bit too much time off but I was glad to get a bit of rest.  The training that I did do was solid and I'm pleased with my effort. Our Hawaii trip is coming up soon and I've decided I'm not going to pay the ridiculous amount of money to go to the gym just to bike 2 days in a week.  So I'm going to focus on my swimming and running and we will be doing hiking that involves some hills so that should be some good leg workout that will have to be a substitute for the biking.  I will still have my long bike ride to finish when we get back.  So this week I need to make sure I'm on point with my bike. 14 weeks of training left.........still scares the crap out of me! ...
