I had a solid race with out extending myself too deep. Swim and ride were both very good. No issues with 7000 feet. but I have been doing altitude for 5 weekends now. My run was a little different and i felt like i was having heavy legs all day. Of course that hill kicked my butt however this was not a A or B race for me and i only took off but one day before. This was the end of base training for me so now I'm moving into build phase. I'M STOKED COMING INTO BUILD PHASE. no injuries!
This started with steamy runs in Georgia swamp land trails..99% humidity each morning..drenched when done. I did three swims over there and i'm now phasing into more speed work each week..I can tell the difference this week of all that happened during base. going for long bike this weekend probably on Sunday. maybe a solid brick day...we will see. on a side note the last few days, the temps were 117-119 depending on whose car temp u looked at and where u were. yesterday i rode 20 and baked before stopping at the slippery pig bike store in FH..doug bailed me out with A/C and more water. I have Sept and October to work on speed on bike and swim..my runs will increase in distance till the 12 hour all night run at McDowell Park, 20 planned. Im not going to worry about speed on the run, injury risk tooo frigging high. well that's my plan..lets get this party rolling!
