3 Weeks to Utah Half-Ironman

July 27-Aug 1
Swim
: 1.5 miles. Bike: 37 miles. Run: 18 miles. Other: 0

Monday: Don't remember.
Tuesday: Track workout. 1 mile warm-up, 4 x 100 striders, 2 x 200 (:44, :44), 5 x 800 (3:11, 3:17, 3:25, 3:30, 3:19), 1 x 400 (1:37). I put that between my last 2-800s. 4 x 100 accelerators, 1 mile cool down.
Wednesday: Rest
Thursday: Ultra brick- approximately 1 mile swim in Quail (43 minutes), 37 mile bike Leeds/Sand Hollow Loop (17.1 mph, not including flat tire stop), 10 mile run Quail to Leeds and back (9:34 pace in the very hot weather and over a hilly course). Felt dead at the end, but made it. I need to remember to eat on the bike and I got dehydrated and overheated on the run big time.
Friday: Rest
Saturday: half mile swim.

  1. Mercy. That Ironman training sounds brutal. I think after swimming that long I'd just give up and let the carp take me away.
