Days left till NYC
Triathlon: 17
Activity: Various in the
last 10 days
I have been bad about
writing about my training these last ten days. Work, life and travel got the
better of me. Last week I was in Charlotte and all I did was run run run, when I
am on the road it is difficult to do anything else. I have a great 5 mile running
route in Charlotte that I ran twice during my stay there. This weekend I did my second BRick, which is biking, followed by
running. I biked 20 miles around Central Park and ran 5 miles at Riverside
Park. It was extremely hot and I thought I was going to collapse by the end of
it! Saturday marked my second last long training
– the end is near and I do not feel very ready. One needs to be
at a certain level of fitness to finish an Olympic tri, but the mind is a very
powerful tool as well, it is amazing what one can achieve if you are focused
and determined. I am hoping my mind kicks in if my body decides to shut down!
I ran 5 miles yesterday
(Tuesday) morning. I love doing morning workouts, it really gets you going and
I feel like I can take on the day with my workout done by 7 am. Training for a
triathlon always seems like a good idea at the start but as the end draws
closer I wonder what I was thinking taking this on! Race day is a couple of
weeks away and as my mom says ‘the only way to do it is to do it’ so that is my
plan for the next few days – train, train and then taper off.
