Week 3 of Kona Training

So far we've been a bit slow on the training up-take- between the funk and a vacation the training hasn't been as consistent as desired. Thie week is a new week and we are going to hit the ground running, swimming and biking like a mad woman! 17 weeks to go until the big day. The tri season is opening here in Colorado for me in a few weeks with the first race of the Boulder Tri series, the Sprint, in 2 weeks.

My primary goal for this upcoming week is to get all of my workouts completed as scheduled this week and improve my nutrition. I've been trying to sleep more lately and I still feel a bit low energy/sluggish on my workouts so I think my nutrition is playing a part in that. I've been hiding from the pool and the gym so I need to end that "break" too. My running pace has been less than desirable in my mind but my coach did remind me that I am training for an Ironman and not a 10k.

I ran the Bolder Boulder on Memorial Day and while it was a fun race and a good experience, I didn't run it as fast (or fast really at all) as I would have liked. I finished in a non-speed racer time of 1:06- ouch.

From a logistics perspective I have a ticket to Honolulu and a house reserved in Kona.

Stats for the last week- as miserable as they are:
Swimming: 0:48 Hrs, 200 Yards, YTD 23:16 Hrs, 68,150 Yards
Bike: 4:11 Hrs, 52.26 Miles, YTD 44:41 Hrs, 675.12 Miles
Run: 3:46 Hrs, 17:54 Miles, YTD 33:52 Hrs, 163.94 Miles
