This week: swim: 1 pool, 1 OW (first time in Lake Monona - hope it isn't too nasty...)
bike: 2 short
run: 2 short
Let's see, what else this week? Oh, yeah, RACE IRONMAN!! Thank goodness, I am starting to get really bored with this taper. :D
Race goals:
1). Finish. This
will happen.
2). Under 15 hrs. This is probable. (Well, I hope anyway, I guess I honestly have no clue, this being my first... I feel like I'm jinxing myself writing this.)
3). 13.5 hrs. If everything goes absolutely perfectly, I think I can do this. Again, no real clue...
4). Make sure my family has a good time visiting and spectating. Yeah, no real control over this, but I'm a pleaser. :P
Did all my taper workouts of course, as well as the race! It went really well I thought, I'll post a rr at some point, right now I have to go ice my legs while catching up on the butt-ton of reading for class tomorrow that I didn't get done in the pre-race excitement.
But the important stuff:
Swim: 77/110 AG, 1:26:04, 2:16/100m
T1: 9:56
Bike: 58/110 AG, 6:59:59, 16.0 mph

This week: Yeah, I have no goals. Other than I guess rest and get that huge pile of stinky sweaty gear cleaned up.
