Week 10 of 20 was bittersweet.? I was called out of town for a week long trip to California on a moments notice and was unable to train how I would have liked.? This week was supposed to be a super run week with my run volume tripling what it normally is … Im not too disappointed in this looking back ? The other big to do was the upcoming Philadelphia Insurance Olympic Triathlon scheduled at the end of the week.? I took an involuntary taper, flew from one side of the country to the other (and back) and had to flip my body clock back to Eastern time to prepare for the 4:30AM wakeup call on race day.? Looking back at the race report, I think I did very well in spite of the last minute schedule changes, though I did miss some key run workouts.? Theres no point in trying to make those up, so I will move along to week 11, officially past the halfway point of my training.? I have been thinking to myself that I feel really unprepared, but I have to remember that Im only halfway there and still have 10 more weeks of workouts to get me ready.? Plenty of 4+ hr bike rides, 2.5hr runs and hundreds of laps in the pool stand between me and the starting line on August 31st.
