FitOldDog’s Training Diary (Day 89 of 221) - Returning To Base

Mailboxes have narrow escape from fall tree in ice storm.

These mailboxes had a narrow escape, bar one, in the recent ice storm. I found this scene during my ride to be fascinating. You might not!

Countdown to Lake Placid Ironman

Solid day, and there is a pattern to my training, though you might not think so. I have to address both endurance and strength/speed for each event component (especially the transitions). I’ve pinned down what I need in the swim, and I have to keep it there. Today’s ride indicated that my bike leg is coming back nicely. Just leaves a lot of work to solidify my run, for both pace and endurance.

Workouts:

Bike: 100 miles nice and steady, rollers with only one minor climb. It was pretty windy, making for a solid training ride.

Run: 3-mile run on the road, straight off the bike to find my running legs. I found them after about 0.5 miles, thank goodness.
