The training is done. A few small swims, bikes and runs left and then the event. Happy Days. "Studies show that now activity the week of the event is best." However I need to keep my knees, shoulders, ankles and hips oiled and moving!
My run today went well a "small" 13 miler. I did blow my nutrition as I thought the smaller events this weekend didn't need Gatorade, Bars etc. I was slightly off and did run out of energy at mile 11 but I was able to make it.
The swim went brilliant! I had to do only 2600yds and so I timed the main set of 80 lengths. 42 minutes to 76 lengths (1mile) and 44 for the 80. This made me feel really good. My times in the pool have looked bad but this was after a 13 mile run. The last training event of 9 months went good. This give me good vibes for the event!
A slight change of plan on our trip to Arizona. My friends are sick and I have a low immunity due to the Arthritis so we are heading down Tuesday so one more cold work out!
David is excited as the whole thing is drawing to an end and he is excited to get his Dad back. I told him once this is done we can bike to school any time and do things at the weekend. He has known this for months, what a great, patient boy!
