Recap

My goals for this time were changed from a one month time span to a two month one and they are as follows: Swim: 4miles (I had to change it to 7 after I attained that goal within the first month), Bike 400miles, Run 200 miles.

Heres how I did July 1- Aug 30:


Swim: 9.09 avg. Pace= 32:00
Bike: 402.39 avg speed=18
Run: 158.07 avg Pace=7:24

I was able to surpass my swim and bike goal but I ended up slacking too much in July to make up for it in Aug.

July:

S:2.79 pace=32:00
B:136.37 speed=16.4
R:52.08 pace=7:42

Aug:

S:6.3 pace=31:53
B:266.02 speed=19
R:105.99 pace=7:17

as you can see Aug was a stellar month and great final push in bringing my endurence up to the 70.3 distance. It also included a lot of blocks. My times drasically improved both in the swim and on the bike and I started to get better at the bike to run but it still needs a little work.

As someone that has always primarily trained on his own im now loving meeting so many runners. You dont realize how many other training options that are out there and the information you have yet to discover through the experiences of others.

Not really amped for it but I went out for a run (the colder weather has taken a bit of wind out of may sails).


5k= 20:38
Pace= 6:39!

The run was along Wonderland Creek Path and around Pleasant View Park with 40 mph winds east bound (for the most part the path is protected).


"Undoubtedly, all triathletes can benefit from clarifying their racing goals. It is an important means of sustaining motivation and enhancing focus, particularly as the demands of training become more challenging."http://www.dailytriathlon.com/profiles/blog/show?id=1412027%3ABlogPost%3A40224
