We had a power outage last week and have received over 2 feet of snow this week. The power outage really screwed up the training. The YMCA was closed, we stayed at Tony's place for 3 nights and the weather was awful. To add to it, I ate horribly. Horrible is a relative term, but horrible for someone training for an Ironman.
This week I had to travel some, but still got in 90% of the training. I have been a little lacking with core workouts. I am supposed to do them 4 times a week and I only did em twice. I will step it up this week.
Swimming has leveled off a little. I have made some improvement from a few months ago, but it is slowing down. I am actually ok with that. I need to work on my form more and my speed will come.
Biking is heading in the right direction. My strength has increased and I am getting more comfortable in the aero position. I rode today and averaged around 13 mph. Not fast for the road, but ok for the training. It is actually a mile and half improvment from a month or two ago.
Running - Steady Eddy. I had to do a 50 minute run on the treadmill because the weather. It was supposed to be an hour, but the YMCA was closing.
Stretching and weights. Slight set back on stretching. With staying at TOny's and traveling I got off track a little. Weights are great. Slight issues with shoulders, but I have backed down the weights some. I believe that is more from swimming than anything else.
