Working on base training. Not spending a ton of time in the pool, but on the bike instead with limited training (2-3 miles per day) on the treadmill. Getting in a couple of short swims and one long swim per week with the triathlon team in Brentwood.
After reviewing the average bike times for Lanzarote, not even the Pros finished in under 5 hours!! This is a problem, but an opportunity as my focus has been on the bike. The 3 state 3 mountain race will also be a big time help in training for the climbs in Lanzarote. Bottom line, when we see the climbs we'll all be prepared (Will, Kathy and I).
Overall, feeling pretty good right now, thinking I'm much smarter about the approach to this race than in the past - as there simply is no substitute for experience. Will is going to understand this 13+ hours into IM Lanzarote.........rookie.
The Villa in Lanzarote has been rented - first class - as well as the airfare. Way out in front on this IM - getting prepared.
Much much more to follow..........
This rookie is going to whoop your ass
