Training thoughts

5 weeks untill the Triple T and time to get serious about the bike (as if I wasn't serious before).

After Triple T, I will go into my Ironman plans that are not finalized yet, just a rough draft right now. I'm still seeking advise about periodization and dealing with my limiters.

Goals for the next 5 weeks.
