This week was back to normal training even though I was preparing for the Muncie Endurathon (half ironman distance). I have done this distance before and was looking forward to improving upon my 5:14:23 from last year, maybe even slipping under the 5 hour mark. I made it through all of the workouts the best I could while trying to get in a little bit of a taper so I could be fresh for the race.

Its actually pretty nice to know that I have less than two months to go until my first Ironman attempt. At the same time, its absolutely terrifying. I am not convinced my fitness is there, I am having minor freak outs about missing some key workouts and I am increasingly concerned about a nagging pain in my left knee thats not going away. Lucky for me, July is hell month as I have 16+ mile runs and 80+ mile bike rides every week! If I missed anything in a workout the past 4 months, this will surely make up for it … just keep an eye on that knee.
