I'm back

I'm back from vacation... It's time to start hammering the Ironman training plan. I put in some good open water swims in the Northwoods and a few good bikes. Running I will be back at it after a short set back. The foot id feeling fine now and I will start putting on the miles again. The weather was great and I did put down some good R and R. Refreshments is one of the R's Its been a while since I did that. I stopped in at one of the local bike shops "Z best bikes" and spoke to the owner John and found out that there aren't any triathlon clubs in the Northwoods. There are several trail riding clubs but I never got hooked up.

The roads are pretty smooth and some what hilly. I found several dead end roads which were not marked but the scenery was good. Woods, wildlife, aroma, log homes mansions get aways. Some folks just have way to much money. I'm thinking about running an add in the paper to see if anyone would adopt a 42 year old triathlete. Back to reality.. The fishing was slow, saw some small muskie, boated one fish all week. The pan fish were few and far between but I really didn't concentrate on any of the lower food chain fish. One day the big one will happen.

The optimal training week has been tweeked up a bit. I felt that the mileage wasn't good enough stay tuned for the finals. I will be doing a three week rotation with the fourth week as an easy week. There are only 16 weeks left until the big day. 112 days, but who's counting.

Train hard, Train smart
