Next Few Days...

Just a brief training update.  I'm slowly building back up to some big weeks ahead.  As for this week, I started slow and am ending it with a bang.  I was pretty sore after the SB Triathlon!

Monday: 4800 yd swim workout;

Tuesday: 4 hour Zone 2 ride;

Wednesday: 2 hour trail run (@ 15 miles+);

Thursday: 2 hour light spin ride

Fri/Sat/Sun -- my first "Race Simulation".  This will be a (lesser) approximation of Ultraman.  Sort of a reduced load version of the Ultraman race to help my acclimate to the 3 day stage race.  It will go like this:

Friday: 7400 yd swim workout, followed immediately by a 4 hour hard climbing ride

Saturday: 7 hour hard ride

Sunday: 2 hour run in the morning plus a 1 hour run in the afternoon

Should be interesting.  Going to experiment with my nutrition by taking in more solid foods on the rides.  Usually I am totally liquid, but for Ultraman I need to get by system used to eating actual real food on the bike.  I'll report back in on how it goes.
