This past week almost saw a 100% completion rate! I am missing that Wednesday moderate run since I have a long swim on Wednesday that seems to zap my energy and motivation to do much of anything. Plan for this next week is to swap Wednesday's long swim with Friday's tempo swim. That would make Wednesday the tempo swim and moderate run day and Friday the long swim day.
Saturday was my first Brick workout and that went well- biked for 2 hours and ran for 30 minutes. Sunday as a long run and both days saw some 40's for temps and wind so it made for a different experience. It was nice to do both workouts outdoors and away from the gym.
I've been testing riding bikes since I can't use my Trek road bike in it's completely altered state. I am looking at the Specialized Transition Comp and the Orbea Ora TLE. Leaning towards the Comp since it is the same frame as the higher end S-Works. Significant improvement in weight and position from my Trek.
I did have a bike fit on Friday of this week and I now have new insoles and adjust cleats to compensate for my knee turning out. We turned my stem around and tweaked my seat to get me as far forward as possible. Flipped the stem over to get 90 degrees for the aero bars and tried to get me in the best aero position possible.
Rode almost the entire ride Saturday in the aero position so I think it's going to be realistic for my race if I can get my times faster than I have less time to spend in the aero position.
This week is the first week I've felt like my endurance has been improving. After Sunday's run I felt like could have run longer. Although the pace is still slow, I would be doing a 5+ hour marathon, I at least felt like I could finish the race.
