Ironman training for Louisville has not been easy. With this type of injury/recovery I'm finding it takes several months to heel correctly. I'm getting stronger everyday and hopefully be released to swim in July. Right now I am swimming with the right arm only and I feel confident enough to swim the whole race with one arm. Masters has been helpful and 3-4 times a week now that track is over is helping.
The bike training is going fairly well. I feel I have a good base and my legs are stronger because of all the hill training. I have several longer rides planned the next couple of weeks and will report back.
Running is my strongest at this point. I have had a long run week this week with Sunday 10,Monday 15, Wednesday 19, Friday 20 miles. The 19 mile day I split 14 -5 hills and the 20 miler I split 18-2. My speeds and times stayed fairly fast, 7:30- 7:40ish with the exception on the Friday. I ran the Illinois Special Olympics torch run with fellow Police Officers so my pace was slower. I did manage to throw down several tempo miles the fastest being 6:16. This morning I thought maybe a little soreness but nothing except for the blister that appeared on my pinky toe.
