IWeekly review
It was a solid week of training. I'm mostly focusing on cycling with just enough swimming and running to maintain fitness in those areas as well. I rode around 125 mile, ran 20 miles, and swam a little over 3 miles.
I got some really nice bike shorts this week and boy do they help the backside feel better during a long ride. The were pricey but when I'm riding 200 miles in one day will be worth every penny. I'm trying to work on keeping my cadence above 90 rpm. It's starting to feel more natural.
My swimming is slowly improving. Good thing I have 11 months to get better at it before my IM. I do like how I feel after swimming. It's definitely good for he upper body as well.
Running has almost been an afterthought, but yesterday, my five mile run after cycling was very encouraging. I had just finished 26 miles on the bike and it was getting hot outside but I knocked off that run feeling really strong. That makes me excited.
I started meeting with a sports nutritionist his week. She says I am not eating enough carbs or calories so I am working on eating more. Maybe by simply training with more carbs and calories in ,y system I will be able to overcome my race nausea I get. At a minimum I may improve my ability to train harder and thus be more fit. We'll see.
Next week will probably be very similar to this past week. I'll try and increase my bike mileage some though.
