...well, actually, it began about 2 weeks ago on December 9, 2013. What was I thinking when I started this 16 week training program that was over Christmas, New Years (which, basically means nothing to our family and training takes precedence), my 23rd wedding anniversary, and several out of town soccer tournament trips for my daughter? Obviously, I wasn't thinking clearly, but then again, when else am I to train?
The first week went well with 5.9 miles of swimming, 55.29 miles of biking, and 18.7 miles of running in various forms of intervals, bricks, and drills.
We went to Las Vegas for the daughter to attend a College Soccer ID Camp at UNLV on Saturday, so thankfully Friday was an off day from training and we drove up to Las Vegas. Saturday, I managed to coerce a friend into taking me to a local aquatic center to get my 3200 meter swim in and pushed the bike to Sunday, after we drove home.
Daughter did well at the one day ID camp, while I swam, and then went shopping with wifey and ate lunch at Tommy Bahama in a local mall, just south of the airport. Nice mall...I can't remember the name of it, but it was an outside mall with some higher end shops.
I did get a power meter installed on my Cervelo P5-3 just before I left. It was one that Tribe Multisport had and gave me a smoking deal on. It's bolted up to a SRAM Red 53/39 crank. More on that next post, after I've played with it some.
