Today

So here's what's going to happen for today.

Time trial practice tonight - Intervals for 90 minutes at ~90% max.

Run 6+ miles.

It's supposed to rain. If it does I'm going to hit the gym and the pool for a distance workout. So, just as important as managing your time is having a backup plan. Because when you really want to go for a ride, it usually rains. The mornings you can't, it's usually beautiful.

One thing I've noticed in the past few races is that you are better off than you usually think you are. Often when you train, it always feels the same, or you get 3 levels of response. Good, normal or bad. Even with a HRM or a bike computer you really only get a number that tells you how you performed. It never tells you how you improved or how your training will benefit you. Once you get to a race, you find out that you're in way better shape that you ever thought. And if you feel like you were having a rough swim, you usually find out that everyone else was too. Even more of a reason to work hard.

Too much commentary these past 2 days, nobody really cares what I think. More workout stuff, I promise.
