Coming to the End

Aug 13 - Aug 19
S:  14,160 yds - 3hr 19min
B:  131.67 mi - 7hr 23min
R:  38.12 mi - 4hr 55min
Total:  15hr 37min

Pretty standard stuff here: hard swimming, all hard biking, a couple easy runs, a really good long track workout, and a threshold run set.  This was really the last "normal" hard week coming into the end of the season.  The next 3 weekends will consist of 3 international distance races: Rocketman Triathlon in Huntsville, AL; Hy-Vee Triathlon in De Moines, IA; and the Coastal Triathlon in Gulf Shores, AL.  Rocketman is kind of a last second "why not do this race because it's in Alabama and only 1.5 hrs from my house."  The RD is really cool and he always puts on a great race.  Hy-Vee is the "big one" for the year.  It will certainly be a fun and exciting road trip to Iowa with some good friends.  It will also be a chance to get some exposure at a really big race and to race some really fast guys.  The Alabama Coastal Triathlon is pretty much just an excuse to take a beach trip!  It is a fun race though, and I'm looking forward to the super fast course and some hang out time with some good friends.  The next 3 weeks are shaping up to be pretty fun!
