Tomorrow I am doing my last Olumpic Tri of the year (and 2nd ever). I am a bit anxious, but not as much as last time. I am hoping to improve in all areas, as one should. As always, the one thing I am nervous about is the run, as it is the last and (for me) hardest.
I just read there are 1,800 athletes participating. I hope most are for the Sprint, because I feel confident about the swim, but if there are a lot of people, that might affect the outcome.
Well, gotta go. My goal is 3:00:00, or less. Individual goals as follows:
Swim: 33min (did 34:36 last time)
T1: 5 min ( the #$* Transition area is super far away)
Bike: 1:19 min (@ 19 MPH)
T2: 3 min
Run: 60 min

Week 15/18 - Olympic Triathlon Training
This is the 1st week of taper before Town Lake. I did not get a chance to do the long workouts on the weekend because I had the (coolest) camping trip with Ramon (Cub Scouts). Nonetheless, the week was not too slow, and I guess that is what I needed. I have been training following the 1/2 IM plan, but the next race is the Olympic distance.
Totals this week:
Swim: 2,000 yds
Bike: 45 miles
Run: 132 min (aprox. 12.6 miles).

Swim: 3,800 yds
Bike: 127.5 miles
Run: 225 min (aprox. 23-34miles).
