This is my second week of a three week Ironman focused build, of the three weeks this one will have the highest volume. Just so happens its landing on what may turn out to be the hottest week on record in Seattle. The forecast is mid to upper 90’s with the chance of climbing over 100 on Wednesday. I’m looking forward to 2:30 of running on Wednesday…bring on the heat! The high temps have been helpful for race prep, there’s a good possibility it will be this hot in Penticton for Ironman Canada. I’ve learned things like my favorite running shorts cause debilitating chafing when its this hot.
Last week I broke the 100 mile mark on my long ride & still had a little left in the tank for a good :30 transition run. My long runs were solid & tempo run was fast.
All this sunshine I’ve been able to work on topping last years ridiculous tan lines! This week I switched to tri shorts that are about 2″ shorter than my cycling shorts. My legs look like neapolitan ice cream. Tan brown (chocolate), burnt red (strawberry) & honky white (vanilla). Sorry…no pictures.
Just trying to stay hydrated, fueled, rested & somewhat sane!!!
Keep up the motivation and hard work!
