| Finishing Up at Mountain Man |
With the race on Sunday, I'm catching up here on last weeks workouts...being a taper week, I only put in 11 hours including the race---the next two weeks see an abrupt change to hardcore IM training, with 16+ hours this week, and 21+ hours next week. The long runs are coming--2 hours this sunday, and 2 hours next wednesday...BRING IT ON! Getting Mountain Man out of the way, the excitement is starting to build, and of course there are not enough hours in the day to live. I miss my Sophia as I have barely seen her this week between 3 after work meetings and training till at least 9:30 every night---I don't see that changing over the next handful of weeks, so I am going to cherish every moment I get with Jenny and Sophia, not to mention Jenny is due September 21, and I leave for Kona on September 29--daunting even if it was just for a vacation sitting on the beach drinking Mai Tai's. Week 9, other than the race, was insignificant--although the taper was again perfect for this race (thanks Chris!!). I've thought a lot about Mountain Man's run performance, and I have come to realize that my run is just not there yet...the nutrition was a distraction from what was really the issue, honestly. Chris is in the middle of 4 days straight riding 110 miles/day, so I haven't gotten his feedback yet...Leishia's ("the analyzer") feedback tells me I am progressing well--thanks Leishia! With the run work coming up, we are working my weakness (still can't believe my run is the weakness!), so I excited to feel the progress in that over the next 2 weeks. It was the 2 hour runs last year that really created a solid run base for IMAZ; adding the back to back long days on the bike coming as well, and I am starting to "see the light" on having a solid day in Kona---the doubt is slowly leaving the office ;-)
