Week 27/30- 21 Days to Go




















































This Week's Totals:
Bike:5h 45m - 92Mi
Run:5h 15m -31 Mi
Swim:3h 30m -6Mi
Total:14h 30m - 127mi


This was week 27. Only three weeks to go. It covered 127 total miles and 14 hours and 30 minutes. As I look back it was a good, routine week.
This week I missed one bike session. I used the time to clean my bike and get it ready. I put a water bottle cage behind my seat and cleaned the chain.
This week was the longest run of the training. I really enjoyed the 3 hours. I've stopped listening to music on my runs-can't have it on the course- and I did some good thinking. One thing I reflected on was an 18 mile training run in preparation for my first marathon. I couldn't finish it and walked home. Today I had no doubts I would finish. It was anecdotal evidence that my endurance has improved since then. I hope it's improved enough.
Now I start my three week taper. So next week my long ride will only be 4 hours, and the long run only 2 hrs. A 12 hour week, a 10 hour week, 5 hours and the race to finish off the 30 weeks.
