Weekly Training Log 2/13-2/19 Arizona Trip

This week was solely dedicated to training.  I flew to Scottsdale, Arizona to put in some long training days to prep me for the season, which is fast approaching.  A buddy of mine invited me down to train for 5 days so I jumped at the chance.  With near perfect conditions: air temperatures averaging 68 degrees, no clouds in sight and minor winds, we were able to take full advantage of our time.  So here is what went down for the entire week.  I broke it down into each day:

Monday:
Swim: 4200 yds
Strength/Core Workout

Tuesday:
Swim: 3200yds easy
Bike: 1 hr trainer session - 14 miles
Plyometrics outside routine

Wednesday- Flew into Arizona and were riding by noon. 
Bike: 3:25 - 65 miles  Avg speed 18.9 MPH (pooped from flight)
Swim : 3500 yds

Thursday - Day was beautiful, could smell the flowers and fresh cut lawns
Run : 1:32 - 11 miles
Bike: 4:49 - 92 miles

Friday:
Bike : 6:32 - 115 miles
Run : 23 min - 3 miles (Transition Run)
Swim : 2650 yds

Saturday :

Bike : 1:13 - 22 miles
Swim : 5000 yds

Sunday : Travel day
Run : 30 min - not sure of distance
Core Workout

Totals: A lot of hours and miles

Long week, definitely slept good at night.  It was fun, learned a lot about my physical capacity, and it was a great place to train.  Scottsdale has everything a triathlete could ask for: mountains, flats, beautiful weather, great pool system, and good running trails.  I want to thank my friend John Potter who gave me the invite and showed me the ropes while out there.  It was a great experience and one step closer to race day.
