Ironman Training Update, Biking in Maine
This past week was a bike-centric week and recovery from the 50K. My quads hurt for three days post-race so swimming and biking felt great.
The week I finished with 15 hours of biking and 45 minutes of swimming: no running.
I got my long 5 hour tri bike ride in on Friday before heading up to Carrabassett Valley to mountain bike. It was great to get out of town and visit Patrice and Clay. The trails at the are amazing; and endless. It was fun to just follow them around and get two good great training days in.
Riding on fatigued legs from my 77 mile bike on Friday was great training. We rode 15 miles on Saturday and just about 8 on Sunday. While Sunday was an easy ride I was still a bit fatigued. All Good Training.
Today, Monday is a run day. I haven’t run for eight days so I’m excited to see what my legs do. Yesterday I signed up for . My race calendar is filling up but it’s so fun to have a full summer of races and overdoing it like I also do. Life is good.
