However, I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the gospel of God's grace. Acts 20:24

Peak Training is Getting Difficult

I am entering the last month of my training plan and the first week of peak training. I am currently following an Olympic distance plan out of the Triathlete Magazines Essential Week-By-Week Training Guide by Matt Fitzgerald. This is a good book full of training plans for all levels if anyone is looking for structured training without a coach.

I am having to adjust my workouts this week to account for the Labor Day holiday this weekend. The pool I usually swim at is closed for repairs and won't open until next Tuesday. Therefore I am having to swim wherever I can find the time and place. Last night was suppose to be a bike night, but I decided to swim instead. Today, I ran for 40 minutes during lunch and then had and hour and ten minute bike ride this evening. Both of today's workouts consistent of increased effort for an extended period of time, so I am pretty tired.

My mind is being consumed by Ironman. I am already making lists of things I need and trying to educate myself about anything and everything. I went to the book store today to look at different books. I am probably going to purchase Going Long by Joe Friel.
