This past Monday I started my endurance stage training. Here's what I have done so far:
Mon: weight training (shoulders and back)
Tue: 2,000 meter swim
Wed: Rode 32 miles... ON THE NEW BIKE!*
Thu: Ran 5 miles
And for the weekend:
Fri: Day Off
Sat: Swim 2,100 meters and Bike 35 - 40 miles
Sun: Brick 15 mile bike ride immediately followed by a 2 mile run - repeat 3 x
So it's definitely increasing time, longer rides, harder work outs, but it feels good! (so far) The Kansas 70.3 Ironman is in only 58 days!
*So I was finally able to get the new bike out for a ride.... Bought it last Thu and was planning on riding during the weekend but guess what? we had snow this past weekend! -no comment-
But yesterday I went out with a friend from work and we got 32 miles in. It was windy but that was the last thing I was thinking about... I absolute love the bike... it feels just right, it's comfortable.... smooth... fast.... great stuff!
I have my first tri of the year in about 2 weeks, May 4th. It's the Merrill Lynch Race For Sight Triathlon in Columbia, MO. 440 yard swim – 14 mile bike – 3 mile run
Can't wait!
Cheers,
P

glad to hear that you're lovin' the new ride!!! keep up the hard workouts, they're worth it.
i admit, i'm jealous your talking about swimming in open water on may 6th. :P
oh,btw, did you feel that crazy earthquake??
keep up the good work man. My coach is beginning to get bike heavy with me and it feels great to be outside. Ride safe.
Awesome bike!!! Can't go wrong with a QR baby!!!
congrats on your new bike, patricio!!! now as far as the name... hmmmmmmm. ride it fr a while and it'll come to you.
another word of advice: typically a bike fit isn't perfect the first g round. ride longer and longer and write down how you feel, what mile you were at when it started, what feels off. then go back to where yo got fitted and have them fine tunne/tweak it. any good bike shop and fitteer should offer this readjustment to you. IT'S KEY
happy riding, happy first race, and keep your eyes on the prize for kansas half im. but watch out, you may get the big to go for a full!!!
solid week of training....congrats! It kind of feels like being a kid again to get out on your new bike I bet! Have fun out there....keep up the good work.
