Interval rides

The last two weekends I have been doing 4-5, 20 min intervals at or around race goal. IT hasn't been easy at all, but attainable. I finish the ride with an hour or so of endurance and that is where the wheels kind of fall off. I have been hitting right around 205 Watts per interval. Solid number.

This weekLast week was a mess at the end. My knees killed and I was just beat. No Brick. Rode for 3 hours total

This week I was in much better shape. Nutrition was off a bit, but overall the ride was solid. I ran my brick and it was decent. I had run 11.5 miles two days earlier, so I was pleased that I average around a 7:40. I actually felt stronger towards the end. I also bike a tempo ride the day before for an hour or so. (DUMB)

My swim is really coming along. I swam 400m at 5:35 without really pushing it to hard. I was gliding along fairly well and my breathing was decent. Mentally still a little tough, but not brutal.

I have a good feeling about Mooseman. Its a month a way, so I will start to build into the brick workouts. I did a 5:11 or so last year, and will definitely break the 5 hour mark this year. I am such a better place mentally and I have really been enjoying my workouts (For the most part)
