It's been 4 weeks since my last post on March 29 and here's what's happened
4/3/2016
Rested a little bit near the end of the week to get ready for Georgia camp
I didn't have a long run but still got in some solid work during with week with the 8X5'(:30). I felt better on the workout than I thought I would.
Swimming went OK but still tired.

Georgia Camp Week
Drove down for the annual camp with HFP Racing in Georgia. While it was cold, everything went fine and completed every workout.
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday I felt really strong and held back a bit. Thursday's run was OK but wasn't as strong as I'd hoped to be. Friday's ride was OK and I was holding back just a little bit on the rollers cuz I felt everyone was riding them harder than they should, turns out I was right and rode strong up the last climb. I chose to ride with Erik and Dave on Saturday because we were hoping it would warm up a bit, it didn't but it took a lot of stress off of the ride.
All of the swims went OK, I held back on them to save energy for the bike. All of the brick runs went well too.

I was tired like I was supposed to be. We started the hill runs on Wednesday and I ran better than expected. I ran fairly strong on Sunday as well (12 miles)
I took Tuesday off from the bike, Thursday I was tired but still rode an hour, Saturday I felt a lot better.
Swimming was hit or miss but by Saturday I was better.

Feeling much stronger overall during this week. 8X5(1) on the bike on Tuesday and 4X20(5)SST on Friday. I moved the long ride to Sunday because of the weather and still rode strong despite running long the day before.
Running was back on track with Wednesday's hill run and Saturday's long run with HIM paced intervals at the beginning and end. My left ankle still seems to be a little sore from the previous Wednesday's hill run.
Swimming is still hit or miss. Monday and Thursday I was OK. I started doing shorter pacing intervals with a lot of rest to be ready for racing in a few more weeks. Fast 50's on 1:10 (under :39) and fast 100's on 2:00 (under 1:20).
This week is just starting but I'm dropping the run volume to 38.5 miles this week while holding the bike and swim volume up. Next weekend is my Triple T Camp and I have 17 people going. Erik has volunteered to ride with a B group so I'll be able to focus more on my own efforts while getting ready for the race.
