So, I've learned a bit in this journey.
Lesson 1: I'm really bad at keeping up with this blog.
I made it through the 20 weeks of outseason, and feel as fast right now as I ever have when running.
I've gotten into a routine with Master's swimming and although I'm still in the slow lanes, I'm feeling more confident in my swim. 4000m is in sight as the workouts are now routinely at 3000m with good intensity.
Lesson 2: Training for Ironman is a selfish activity.
I need to get better at carving out the time required for training, and find ways to put it out of mind when I'm not actively training. I missed a ride this weekend because I overslept, and wasn't selfish enough to still fit the ride into the schedule. To my family's credit, nobody made me feel like I shouldn't do the workout, so that one is on me.
As I look forward to future weekends and weekdays, the primary workout will need to be high on my priority list, since the race is fast approaching.
That's all for now.
