With less than two weeks until race day things are getting a little tense. I can tell both Jodee and I are getting towards the end of the training program and I have to say that after 16 weeks...I for one am getting close to "burn out."We had a good, long run on Saturday but our long ride yesterday was very labored. There were 20-30 mph winds and it just wasn't any fun from start to finish. The long rides are probably the hardest part of IronMan training. They consume so much time, between getting all the food prepped, everything loaded, etc. and then comes the actual ride! And after you spend that much time in the sun, you're pretty wiped out for the rest of the day. It will be nice to have our Sundays back in a couple of weeks!
This week sees things really begin to taper down in terms of duration of workout. Our "long" ride is only 3 hours this weekend which will be nice. I'm going to try and get an open water swim in this week if I can work it out. It would be good and the chlorine is really starting to bother so I hope I can fit it in.
I will also be posting previews of each leg of the race...first up: THE SWIM.
