Weekly Training Log: Week of October 5th, 2015 - Week #38: Putting IM Chattanooga behind and switching focus to 2016

In Life:  I was able to take Aiden to a Nuggets pre-season Basketball game on Thursday evening.  They were playing the Chicago Bulls in Boulder, and I saw that as a good opportunity to see them.  It was fun.
The weekend was good as usual.  We had a little fall festival for Aiden's school on Saturday afternoon, then we did some family portraits and a dinner on Pearl St after.  Sunday was football and a bike trainer.


In Training:  It was a full week since Ironman Chattanooga (race recap up soon) and I was feeling good. I took three full days off after Chattanooga - that run course tore up my legs - and then I was good to go.  I felt 90% recovered by Tuesday (9 days after), then 100% recovered by this past weekend.  I made the decision to go ahead and race Ironman Arizona in a few weeks to gain a little more pro experience at the distance and have one more race/goal this season.  I am ramping up the training pretty hard over the next few weeks.  My recovery from the Ironman distance has been getting really quick over the last few that I have done.  I would like to try racing them two weeks apart over the next few years.
