I love when the week gest better as it progresses. Last week I did pretty much anything I wanted. I had two smaller bike/run bricks, two 3 km swims, one long run and one long bike ride.
It all averaged to around 230 km and 12 hours spent training.
My times are somewhere in the area I would like them to be but because of fatigue and other things out of my control (traffic, weather etc.) I am still trying to hit the sweet spot.
I got myself some new running shoes which are fantastic (I still feel a little to much pressure here and there but this should all be fine within the next few days). In fact, I felt so good in them that I ended up running for 2:15 hours and covered 26.22 km at a moderate pace and my legs were almost as fresh as at the beginning (I guess I could have pushed more but since I didn't want to get blisters from the new shoes I was more on the conservative side).
My long ride was a little shorter then I planed since the road conditions weren't the best (wet road and strange wind from every direction). I ended up doing 120 km instead of 160 km but that's also nice :)
This week I'll be attending a wedding on the island of Lošinj so I'll take my wetsuit and try it out in the wild for the first time.
I hope I'll stay afloat :)
Let's have a quick peek at the numbers and get back to work:
| Distance | Time | Pace | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Swim | 6.0 km | 2:15:00 | 2:15 min / 100 m |
| Bike | 183.26 km | 7:46:27 h | 2:32 min / km |
| Run | 40.22 km | 3:21:38 h | 5:01 min / km |
In total the numbers now look quite nice :)
| Distance | Time | |
|---|---|---|
| Swim | 138.30 km | 53:42:00 h |
| Bike | 2886.31 km | 125:06:19 h |
| Run | 615.62 km | 53:44:23 h |
Finally more time in total spent running then swimming. It was about time :D
Until next week, don't forget to be awesome.
