Tri Minus Three

I am taking advantage of the 3 day weekend to recharge emotionally and physically while celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary. Even though we walked about 6 miles today, it is about sleeping in, taking naps and going to bed early.


It has been a very emotionally stressful week and with all that was going on I was only able to work out 3 nights and at that really only got a full workout in on Tuesday. I probably could have pushed myself to work out more, but it would have been non-productive and probably lead to an injury.

I had planned on starting my taper this week, but I will adjust my plans slightly to make up for last week. I did reach one of my goals when I ran 2.4 miles Tuesday night. This week I will only do 1.6 mile as I am starting to feel the effects of running in my bad knee and I need to make sure not to do any damage this close to the event.

I also hope to don my wet suit and do some swimming out in a lake and going on a 20 mile bike ride at least once this week on my road bike. Most of my riding has been on the stationary bike and I really need to get some saddle time in.

So as of now I am 20 days from this major goal that I have been training for since August of last year, I don’t want to blow it now.
