Weekly Training Log: Week of March 31st, 2014: More from Maui

In Training: We were in Maui for the week up until Saturday and I was able to get five more days of riding in on the roads. After the first 3+ hour ride @ close to IM target wattage last week, I was a bit worried about my neck and worried about staying in the aero position for the duration of the bike leg at IMTX. After a solid week of exclusively riding outside, I have found that this shouldn't* be a problem. I did take Monday and Sunday (travel/jetlag) totally off - So all in all, I am happy with the overall volume for the week.

Running was hilly and windy and all done in the Hokas. I absolutely LOVE running in Hoka's on the road - they make hills/uneven terrain much, much, much easier to handle.

Swimming was still much less than I wanted to get in. The run/drive to the aquatics center was a trek.

In Life: Again, we were in Maui for the week up until Saturday PM. Life was great... I took Monday off and went to the aquarium with Mom, Aiden, and Beth. I was also able to enjoy some quiet and a few naps in there too.
It was a great spring break, and it was great to spend it with Mom and Dad (Beth and Aiden) Maui truly is my favorite place on earth, and to be able to have a second home there is pretty amazing. The pictures from the week again show a few things that we all did.

Swim: 5,100 meters
Bike: 208 miles/535.7 TSS
Run: 31 miles

The pool next door

I used to swim here when I was in high school and we were in Maui. It was nice to be back there training for something. This pool has the clearest/cleanest water ever.

I took Monday off and we all went to the aquarium at Ma'alea together

Wednesdays are logo nights (wear a branded shirt) at the Maui Brewing Co. Dad and I (usually Erin too) have started to walk the 4 miles there to get some good beers pre dinner every Wednesday. Routines are awesome.
