Weekly Training Log: Week of June 17th

I had a great week this past one that included some good training and time with my son.  Training-wise, I have had some very tired legs for my runs but have gotten them done anyway,  my bike feels great, and my swim still has a ways to go before Louisville.  I am enjoying it all none the less and am happy to have another 200+ mile bike week.  I am aiming to keep that up with the exception of 1 or 2 weeks where I will refocus on higher run milage.

We had some very big and awesome news happen this week too... Boulder will get its own Ironman race.  This has been something that has been talked about for the past few months but has happened so fast that it's kind of unbelievable.  There is no doubt, given I am healthy, that I will be at the start line come August, 3rd 2014.  My father wrote an article for the Daily Camera (Boulders local paper) and it can be found here.

I love summer and am so thankful for this season...  Cheers and happy training.  The Boise RR will be up this week - it'll be nothing special though.

Run: 31.2 miles 
Bike: 204.6 miles
Swim: 3200 yards

This was our destination when I had my first real date with my wife little over 6 years ago.

My sons swim lesson.  Beth and I both got to watch this one.

Mom (Beth) did Stroke and Stride on Thursday.  It's a 6pm aquathon that happens every week.  If you are not from Boulder check them out.  This is what got me into the sport.  I was so happy to see Beth out there again!
