Road to Ironman - Week 2

My second week was a bit of a fail week because I didn't have time to put in any running. The reason for it being a strange schedule and some other stuff I had to take care of during the week.

One of the things I hoped would work out well was going to my wife's summer house near Opatija where I could maybe catch a short sea- swim training but it turned out to be quite cold (5cm cold for all the guys ;)) so it was somewhat impossible to swim for a longer period of time as my arms and legs started to feel numb rather quickly and I didn't dare to go into deeper water.

The pools were also a bit crowded with 4 guys sometimes in a single lane which caused a problem as well in getting a good distance but I hope that this will change this week.

Here are my stats from last week: 


Distance Time Pace
Swim 4.5 km 1:40:00 22 min / km
Bike 60.07 km 2:27:53 2:46 min / km
Run - - -

Overall distance covered and time spent on each part of the triathlon can be seen below:


Distance Time
Swim 9.25 km 3:35:00
Bike 86.44 km 3:37:46
Run 8.16 km 39:32

I'll leave you with a nice motivational video of two normal guys facing one of the biggest challenges of their life :)

Until next time, don't forget to be awesome :)
