Now into week 6 of the training program for the triathlon at the end of April.
Entered a mountain bike race this weekend and was amazed how much quicker I was compared to my previous race over that trail. I could have gone faster because my mind is still in the mode of preserving energy far more than needed for a 1 hour race and I finished the race with a lot of energy.
Running is getting easier. I'm not worrying too much about speed but I ran 35 minutes easy last night, with 3 sets of strides toward the end, and felt comfortable all the way.
Swimming also is improving. The training plan has me doing 1300 yds and 1400 yds sessions which I'm completing without a problem all using freestyle - no more need for breaststroke to get my breath back!
Weight now 215.4lbs
