Weight was 160 this weekend.

Boo! Must eat better, must eat better, must eat better....

Weekened wrap up

I swam with the Vento group (sort of, only 1 other person showed) on Friday. It was my first structured swim in a while and I felt really good about it. I really believe if I focus hard for the next two months, I will be cruising. I also swam on Sunday. Good workout and felt strong. I swam my fastest 100 ever, a 1:34.

My run on Sat was pretty good. I didn't feel all that comfortable, but I believe I had a very fast run. Ever since my Garmin got stolen, I have been kind of in no mans land. But I think I ran very close to a 7 minute pace for 11 miles. Great for a training run. The best part is my legs seem to bounce back better than ever before.

My bike workouts have been solid as well. Mentally punishing, but I have been doing the entire ride at the proper watts. Right now I am averaging around 160 watts for an hour and a half on the trainer. Very solid for me. More cadence work is needed, but it is getting better. I have put more hours in this March than last year. Hard to believe.

Cracked frame = That sucks. Not sure what is going to happpen on this one. Not letting it bring me down though. If anything, I will work even harder.

Overall training is going well. The Great Bay Half will be a test. I am going to go all out, so we'll see what happens! I do think I can have a great race.

Trainer 90 RPM 1 hour

This was a little tough. I might have been tired, but it was kind of tough for the first 30. It definitely got easier as the time passed, but it still seemed harder than it should have.

Positive thinking.... I did it and I will be a better rider for it.

Swim in the morning with the Vento group. First time I will swim with them

Update.... Again.

I think I made a decision at some point to stop posting, but it really is nice to go back and read.
Update -

I have been riding the bike a lot more lately. Primarily on the trainer, but I have been out 3 times in the last week. Quick rides, but good prep. I think my form is coming back and hopefuly the uncomfortable shoulder will go away.

Running - I feel slow. I need to step it up a little with tempo runs. My long runs have been a little slow too. I think the switch will happen soon though.

Swim - Scratching the surface. Form feels good, but my endurance and attention span suck. After 10min, I am ready to get out. With some improvements, I know my mindset will change.

My weight is down to 158 from 164 or 165. My diet has been better, but still could be a lot better. I am thinking 155lbs by May is a good goal. (5 weeks)
