Sunday; Aerobic run. 72 minutes on the treadmill for a solid 9.11 miles

So the totals;

  • 10:02:04 for 101.87 miles
  • 3 swims 6150 yards in 2:14:41
  • 3 bikes 71.53 miles in 4:08:03
  • 4 runs 26.85 miles in 3:39.20

More of the same this week with a target of 12 hours.

I am starting the think about race day and getting the final bits and pieces into place so there is no panic in the last week. This weekend I intend to ride out on my race wheels, they’re very different from what is on there now an it’s been over a year since I rode them and they take a bit of gettn used to. Other than that the focus is making every session as high quality as possible.
