March is here

So we are now three full seeks from ING and  9 weeks out to Alcatraz.  The weather has made outdoor training, or at least riding on the bike a bit of a chore.  Normally we are in the upper 50’s or 60’s a few days a week by this time of year, but we are still trapped in the 40’s for highs.  Not much global warming here in Atlanta for 2010.

Last week was a nice solid week with about 9 hours of training.  From Sunday to Sunday I logged 32 miles over four runs, 6,350 meters over three swims (about 4 miles), and close to four hours on the bike trainer which would normally equal about 72 miles on the road.  No outside riding this weekend, and melted my tire on my indoor trainer on Saturday.  I did hit every workout last week as this was the first week of the build phase (week 7 overall), and also the third week in my second four week periodic cycle.  This week the volume is a bit lighter with a recovery week, then we step it up for March.

Got my new wetsuit on order so that should be coming in the next week or so, just need to figure out the bike shipping thing and we will be all locked down for San Fran.
