Haven't had much to say so that is why I haven't written much. My training has been consistent, averaging approx. 12 hours per week. With this nicer weather I am enjoying getting outside and riding my bike. I have done a few rides of 3 hours which seems to be just fine. That would have been a bit of a struggle last year at this time. I am doing more sets and intervals at threshold pace which hurts but will make me stronger.
My swimming has gotten better as I'm swimming my 100's almost 5 seconds faster but my endurance isn't there yet. When I try to push it my form gets bad. So for now, I continue to drill a lot which I'm enjoying and I think it will really help me in the long run. I'm doing about 1,000 each workout of drill 25/ swim 25 which I like.
I have about 9-10 pounds to lose in the next 11 weeks, which is my race in RI. Shouldn't be a problem but I need to stay focused. At that weight, it should set me up for a good race. I'm excited about going home to race. I will know a lot of people racing so it will be fun too.
I might do the bronx duathlon next weekend which I hear is fun because they close a lane of the hutchinson parkway for the bike. This will be a good chance to test out my bike and give me a benchmark of where my fitness is.
I applied for the Kona lottery for the third year in a row and of course I didn't get in again. I'll keep plugging away. Its probably a good thing since I wouldn't have been able to compete at Florida but I would give up any race to go to hawaii to race.
Gotta go and get outside and enjoy this nice weather....ciao!

Okay, I've done that du and my advice to you is to NOT take your race wheels! You know all of those little cracks and bumps in the road that your car floats over? For a bike, they are the size of the Grand Canyon! So BE CAREFUL! oh, and have fun.

Thanks Terri...I know the RD very well so I'll check with him. Hopefully they have done some paving by now :)
