Countdown to Lake Placid Ironman
Status update:
Training schedule, now that I’m close to being essentially recovered from the endovascular aortic surgery incisions (not those in my mind!), is one week hard, one week harder, and one week easy. The run this weekend told me that this week needs to be easy. That leaves seven (7) complete three-week cycles of training before I start to taper for the 2014 Lake Placid Ironman.
Will have to pace this just right to get a decent time with no injuries.
Today’s workouts:
Walk: 2 miles with the dogs.
Swim: 4,200 yards, nice varied workout from Rick. Focus was pulling myself strongly through the water, with a high elbow and good catch, and fluid dancing body roll.
Lake Placid Ironman swim course in Mirror Lake, with a nice view of the Adirondack Mountains.
