Last week! ending Nov 22th

Another decent week in the books. I have to say I really enjoy doing Tri training, anyone who knows me well ! knows that I love to train. I realized the hard way there is only so many miles you can run before your body breaks down. For me I could lash out the miles in the Portlaw woods before I came to the states and even in the summers getting ready for XC. But somewhere along the way my body didn't like it anymore. So learned how to stay in shape Cross Training. I would put doubles and triples in when I was hurt, it would only take me 2-3weeks of running to get back into workable shape.
This last time I got injured I say to myself "What the fuck" and during one day in the pool I decided to attempt some swimming out of boredom. man was I bad. After a couple of reprs of 25y's I was drying. But hey I was getting a decent workout done in less time. I even had it in the back of my mind to attempt a Triathlon. That I did this year and ended my season with a few handy races, I won a couple of sprints and managed a decent result @ Nations Triathlon in September. But realize I need to get my swim time down to achieve my goals.

AM 63.5 mi w Dirk. We did another 80k effort. in 2:07- This week was a little colder and there was some wind on the way home. Funniest thing happened @ 46MI into of effort, the long Get Low came on my I-Pod. I sometimes sing this to my self as I focus on getting into a good aero position. It was perfect timing. Along with some Snow Patrol, The Script and some Dance tunes I had a good mix going. On another positive note I didn't need to sleep for 2 hours after this one. Had a fun day hanging out with Heather.
