Swim gear: note the emergency towel (yellow - a great present from Hélène), which I needed today - my towel disappeared.
Countdown to Lake Placid Ironman
Willbe is on probation for running over the main road, so I worked on bringing him to heel and sitting on command - now he’s sulking.
Reminder - my initial endurance training goals for the end of March, individually, not as a massive brick, are the ability to:
Swim 5,000 yards solid, not beaten up, ride my trainer bike at 110 watts for 6 hours straight, and do my sons distance run workout of 30 min run, 30 min walk, x4.
Today’s workouts:
Walk: 2 miles brisk beautiful trail walk with Willbe (yellow lab), with sniff breaks.
Note minimal hip flexion - no more aero for FitOldDog, bummer!
Bike: 2 hours 45 min trainer ride at low wattage, holding 90 cadence most of the time. Sitting back to minimize hip flexion (to protect my abdominal aortic aneurysm stent extension)k which seems no more than when I run (see photo).
1 hour x 80 watts, 1 hour x 90 watts, 30 min x 100 watts, 10 min x 110 watts (target was 30 min, but my legs said STOP and my mind agreed - we don’t always agree!), 5 min x 50 watts spin out warm down.
Stretch routine: usual, it’s important.
