IMC training week 23

Wow, 23 weeks down. Feels like less time has passed and somehow feels like more at the same time. This week was tough. After doing the 24 hour MTB, I was surprisingly tired most of the week. I missed 2 swims, but hit everything else. This weekend was a good test as I was tired and it was hot; 2 challenges I'll likely deal with at IMC. I made it through, and really feel like I can count on having more to give when I think I'm done.

Here's the week:

Bike - Road 79 mi 5:15:00
Bike - Trainer 0 mi 0:45:00
Run - 29.8 mi 4:18:47
Swim - 2600 yd 1:01:09
Total Time 11 hrs 19min

IMC training Week 21

Another decent week, missed a swim and a ride. I feel great on the run, which is reassuring as I've had running related injuries in the past. The 24 hour MTB race is coming up, so this week I'm going nuts trying to fit in training, life, and race prep. I'm stoked for it though!

Here's the week:

Bike - Commuter 13 mi 1:00:00
Bike - Mtn 4 mi 0:40:00
Bike - Road 40 mi 2:30:00
Run - 28.5 mi 4:13:17
Swim - 4100 yd 1:44:28
Total Time 10 hrs 7min
