Almost 60 days out from IMTX and starting to get excited, the real training for myself begins about now.

After a 10 week layoff with a busted up hip due a bike crash and another almost another 2 months in a rehab period decided to go for a 3rd IMTX. Gave 12 weeks to get myself in order, have a 6 year background in triathlon so this should be an interesting experiment. Going for pure base training. Looking at minimal taper right now but will reevaluate as race day approaches.

Swim - solid 3 to 3.5 k sessions , not expecting many gains this year but looking to minimize residual fatigue on the rest of the race. Swam 68 min last year, I figure anything under 75 minutes this year will be a bonus. Not expecting wetsuits.

Bike - first 4 hour ride yesterday, felt pretty good surprisingly, finished very strong. Did some over under intervals in the 2nd and 4th hour 10% above and below IM effort. Felt about right.

Run - 18k negative split, 2nd half upper Z2. again felt good, finished strong at an appropriate effort level.

So where are you in your training, physical, mental or otherwise?
