Just 5 weeks to go...and it's time to crank it up before the taper starts. Last week I had to take a couple of rest days due to over-training. But I feel a bit better today so hopefully this can last until week 18.Swim times will increase over the next couple of weeks and we are going to do one last long ride this Sunday after Andrew and I run the "Minnesota Twins 4K" run downtown Minneapolis. We'll head back up to Hinckley and probably get 85 - 90 miles in. The weekend after that we'll do the "Tour de Tonka" ride which is 65 (if I remember right) and then the time begins t drop down to 3 - 4 hour rides.
Speaking of events, yesterday was the Chisago Lakes Tri. Jodee did the half-IronMan distance and Andrew and I did the sprint course. It was his first full-length race and he did well. He had some struggles with the open-water swim but he pushed through. His bike was okay and then he had a great run...so he ended the race on a positive note.
We were both very proud and even though he said that parts of the race "really-sucked" he's ready for more next season. I laughed...but I totally know the feeling ; )
More to come!
