This probably isn't what half ironman training looks like

But it should improve...
The week before last was the week of no swimming, gasp!

I fixed that this past week with two visits.  Whew.  Problem was I also lost a long bike ride Sunday.  What's worse, missed a chance to get outside for a bike ride with the Kansas City temps in the high 50's!  Can't win em all... and that's what happens with a busy household and cramming everything on the weekends.  I would suspect most triathlete type people with multiple kids can relate.

It's also been difficult trying to fit a 9-80 schedule in at work.  It allowed for every other Friday off, but everything that got put off trying to cram more work hours in a day got slammed into that one Friday off.  In essence it didn't really buy me a full day off.  It was a full day of running errands I had no other time for.

So with that, I'm going back to the 5 day a week plan and trying to get more time over lunch to get workouts in or time for appointments or other personal items.  Maybe even catch up on a huge backlog of product reviews!

So stay tuned to see which works out better.


The numbers...
BIKING - 33 miles
RUNNING - 14.7 miles
SWIMMING - 2.69 miles
TOTAL MILES - 50.3 miles
TOTAL TIME - 5:55

Kind of disappointed with the volume for the week.  We had a couple of things around the house that normally are not a part of every day life that absorbed a good amount of time, so that played a part and is just one of those things.

I'm aiming for a bigger week this week.  Already going to have my butt handed to me in morning X-Camp at Rev Gym that I found last year.  Should be a sore week!  Good times!
