Had a strong start to the week but due to a professional meeting out of town, my training week ended poorly. Of the 12:49 hours of planned training for the week, I was only able to get in 8:47 hours. I’m not beating myself up over it but realizing that so much of this is consistency, I’m always a little upset at myself when I don’t find a way to get the workouts in. I did find a way to get all the bike workouts in and that has been a goal all along. I wish I could say the lack of training gave me some hours of needed rest, but being in the Eastern time zone actually caused me less sleep than I get here waking up at 4am.
I did get to see a lot of friends in Tampa I had not seen in over three years and that was a special treat. Several of them mentioned how much weight I had lost (twenty pounds since I saw many of them) and they were very kind to indulge me with lots of Ironman/triathlon questions.
I apologize for being so late in getting this week’s report posted. My week has been very busy but work, family, and training have all had exciting and motivating events that I hope to share in my following report. Personally, this upcoming report will be the last one of my 30’s. I turn 40 on Sunday. Come to think of it, I may be late with the upcoming report, too.
Kia Kaha!
