Training Week in Review

Started the week off with a 46 mile bike ride. I had originally planned for 62 miles, but this was a small group ride and nobody was doing that distance (2 were planning on riding almost 100 and that was too much for me right now). I worked on my nutrition and had only 1 bottle of Perpetuem and some Hammer Gel. For a total of 585 calories or 212 calories per hour (2.75 hour ride). Which works out pretty well with what I've heard about your body only being able to consume 200 calories per hour. I felt pretty good and did a 20 minute run afterwards and I didn't have any of the issues I had during my half iron race. I might try to get 250 per hour, but anything more will probably be too much. Back in the pool Monday (first swim since my HIM) and it was tough, but I got faster. I got a 1:36 100 meter set. Previously I had gotten 1:45. Ran on my own the rest of the week, but set some good paces. Finally running sub 8 minute mile on hills. Didn't work out at the end of the week. I volunteered at the Getting 2 Tri training camp. What a great experience and phenomenal group of individuals. Completely inspired and love what the training camp is all about. Next week I'm back to a full training schedule. Should be great.
