Weekly Training Log: Week of March 17th, 2014:

In Training:  I am working full time for the first time while trying to train and race Ironmans.  I wasn't so sure that this would work out great, but I have proved to myself that I can put in (close to) the volume needed to hopefully be successful.  I had a very solid week of workouts - I met the intensity levels I wanted at a volume that is slightly lower than I have done in the past for racing IM.

Key workouts of the week were a trainer interval ride of 90 min that had a 255w avg, 260w NP avg, A tempo interval half marathon on a treadmill, and a 3ish hour trainer ride with AP at 241w.



In Life:  The week was work.  Up at four, home for a workout, then bed at eight.  But then comes Friday.  Friday is wonderfully awesome.
I ended up going to the local brewpub in Longmont for a few drinks, then dinner with Beth and a still sick Aiden.
Sunday, we all went up to Loveland to a Disney on ice show that Aiden absolutely loved.

Fairly simple week, but it was great.



Swim: 6,050 yds
Bike: 8 hours/180 miles/625 TSS
Run: 37.2 miles 

A shot with two awesome people!


Got the new Type A6's - First run felt great.  I feel an improvement over the A5
