It's hard to believe it's already been a month since my last post.
Training is going ok.
Swim - It took me a few sessions to get comfortable again but I did 1.2 miles on Friday and felt great. Definitely could have gone longer. That would be ahead of what is on my training plan but wanted to see how it would go. I'm thinking about learning to do a flip turn, that would cut down on my swim time, so it would make it a bit more realistic to open water swim time.
Of course I'm still slow but my speeds are roughly the same as when I raced in May so I feel good about that.
Bike - This too is going well, did my 1st 2 hr session on the spin bike on Monday and I was able to maintain a good pace.
Still haven't spent a lot of time on my bike so need to start putting time in to get the bed conditioned to that seat. Plan to do a short session tomorrow morning.
Run - UGH - this is not going well. I'm having a lot of pain in my feet, not sure if it's because my weight is up or because of my orthotics or that my head still has anxiety from those damn blisters....maybe a little of all of those. I'm slow because I can't get out of my head but hoping if I drop a few lbs then that will help.
Strength Training - all the work I did has gone to the side, so I need to get this added back into the routine.
Hitting about 75% of my training which is a bit easy right now because it's still ramping up but overall I feel pretty good.
Weight loss - not at race weight yet but getting back on track with healthier eating so the wait will start to drop.
18 weeks till race day!!
