Here are a couple pics from this past weekend's training in Malibu. 2 hours bike and 1 hour run. This coming weekend: 3.5 hours bike and 0.5 hour run. Longest yet.
Swimming: Getting better. 1,500 yd swim on Sunday followed by a good session of drills last night. Still amazed at how far I have come since the season started. 50 yards of 7 stroke breathing was unthinkable at the beginning of the season, but I did it last night. I still need to work on my glide and turning my left side on the barrel movement.
Running: Not much to mention except that I need to make sure I go slow off the bike. I am a second half runner, not first half one.
Biking: Learning every time I go out. This week coach Rad told me to practice drinking my sports drink and pedaling at the same time instead of just slowing down to take big gulps and put the drink back in the bottle cage. I definitely feel more comfortable riding now. No falls recently. Going up hills has been manageable. Shifting is improving. Trainer work is getting manageable too as I listen to podcasts on my iPhone or watch DVD's on my laptop.
Overall, a lot of improvement from where I started but still a lot to improve upon. Exciting stuff! Ongoing goals: maintain self-discipline and emphasize quality practices.
Diet/Nutrition is also on task. Getting the carbohydrates in for sure, but would like to increase vegetable intake incrementally.
Go Team!
