Happy (almost) Birthday Dr. Tigerchik and thanks for getting us started. Good work last week and good luck with the re-submit.
Tri3, I am so sorry that happened to you and hope for quick, complete healing.
My goals last week were:
all the normal things -- 3 bikes, 3 swims, 3 runs, some yoga and a lot of talking to my coach (and the other coaches) about what's next now that I'm back in action.
I ended up running 4 times (once quick just to help pace a friend) and while I technically swam 3 times, only 2 are worth writing about, my bikes were all good and I feel totally recovered from my very big week at camp. In general, I feel good -- I miss my strength work but I think PT is paying off and my runs are starting to feel like real runs again -- I've even run a a few miles starting with the right digit.
I've talked to my coach, other coaches, and athletes I trust about next steps -- I'm now leaning toward finding an Olympic in April or May, racing Victoria 70.3, and then finding a later season 70.3 to be my "A."
This week, it's 3 bikes, 3 swims, 3 runs, PT and yoga plus a weekend of cheering at Oceanside. If you're going to be there, let me know and I'll make you a sign :D
I hope everyone has a great week.
