Thanks for getting us started Dr. Tigerchik, excellent job getting those bike miles in and good luck with your Iron.
My goals for last week came from my new coach:
Quote:
3 swims (only 1 ocean), 3 or 4 bikes (2 trainer), 4 runs (but low mileage and mostly easy) strength, PT, and yoga. I'm excited to start something new.
Everything went fine and I completed all the workouts for 20 miles run, 70 biked, and 8500Y swum. Overall, it was a little more volume than I'm used to but more of it was low intensity. The exception was the bike, my trainer rides were shorter but tougher as I settle into training with power. My favorite workout of the week was biking part of the St. George 70.3 course -- it was absolutely beautiful climbing in Snow Canyon and I hiked after too. I'd love to race St. George 70.3 in the future, I had fun weekend cheering and sherpaing for friends who raced. It got me excited for my 70.3 next month too.
I think the bones of my goals will be the same every week for a while: 3 swims (only 1 ocean), 3 or 4 bikes, 3 or 4 runs, strength, PT, and yoga. my new coach is remote so I'm interested to get his feedback on how the week went and how we'll progress going forward. So far, so good.
How was Wildflower, SLO? It looked HOT.
Happy training!
