Another week down that is. Anyway, another week of training. I'm ready to be done with this mid-season break. The only deal is the 2nd half of the season. I have a bit of a quandary if that's the right use of that word.
I'm doing 70.3 worlds. That is a given. It's what I do between now and then that is to be decided. I'm doing River Cities, Austin Triathlon. That's where it gets fuzzy. I'll either do Cancun 70.3 after that and then the US Open or the Longhorn Triathlon. The US Open will be a ridiculously fast field. Longhorn is a hometown 70.3. It's a tough call. Longhorn is 2 weeks after Cancun and about 5 weeks before 70.3 worlds. Is 3 1/2s in 7 weeks too much? I don't think so. We'll see.
Last week was again, nothing spectacular. I got my SRM back. I had some shorter cranks put on it. I've been riding 175mm cranks for as long as I remember. I put some 172.5mm cranks on my road bike. They felt really good. Then, I put them on my tri-bike and even though I didn't have the powermeter, they felt really good. I don't have a real test yet to see if they really do make a difference. But, I did ride an 80 miler on Saturday about 10 minutes faster than I previously did at a lower wattage. It was really hot. I also made a couple of positional changes. Did that make me faster? Who knows.
I've updated the race schedule with the races that I KNOW I'm doing.
