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 :
Run : 1 hour - 8 miles (easy pace felt pretty broken down)
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.
