This week hasn't been too bad. Got to do an OWS on monday at candlewood on Labor Day.Also a 4 mile run with Estella before it :)  We did a mile and half. I swam masters on Wednesday and it was a lot of butterfly! not my best and not my fave but i survived! at least i got to wear fins most of the time so I didn't drown! hah.
In biking this week Estella and I rode our 1hour 47 min with intervals out to Valley/LaShara. It was super windy so pretty tough this time, but I feel a bit more comfy on my bike.We ran a mile after which wasn't bad at all.  Then yesterday we did a time trial for 10 miles on "white trash" road in valley. I felt pretty good going out, head wind coming back but I was still able to keep it over 18.5 most of the time and I actually wasn't the slowest! Yay! AND no one passed me :) yay!
Today was a day off and tomorrow we head to Lawrence, KS for the Ad Astra/Legend 70.3. This is our last race before the big one in November! Its a great time to practice with transition and nutrition and getting ready for Ironman. I seriously cannot believe how fast this year has gone! its insanity!
I am riding with Lynn and Eunice tomorrow so should be a fun road trip. will be missing Donny on this trip though, but we have to save money for November! Tomorrow we have an hour choice for our workout so not sure what we will do. I still need to do my planks tonight before bed!
hope i don't throw up from the movie popcorn. hah.
here's hoping for a safe and fun race with not too much wind and that I can conquer the hills on my bike! hoping for wet suit legal too, but not sure if i will bring out the full wet suit yet or just the lava pants. full wet suit might be too hot!!
We're leaving at 10:30am and will be back some time Sunday evening. Also have to run 5 miles after the race!! This upcoming week is a big one for workouts! We have our 1st hundred miler on Friday! EEKS! Totally got this!! Go Big or Go Home!!

Big week!

Wow! this has been a big week of a lot of long workouts!Monday was the eclipse, but I still got up for masters! Craig had a puzzle for us to solve on the workout...which ended up being Eclipse on the dark side of the moon. lol.  On Wednesday I swam the longest I have ever swam open water. 3500 or 2.17 miles! That is almost the full distance we have to go in Ironman and I'm super stoked to say I didn't stop and I felt like I could keep going. Getting stronger and stronger in my swim. Craig (at masters  common ground) told me my stroke is looking good! Which also makes me super happy!! I am feeling more and more that I am getting ready for this craziness!! This week also included an 8 mile run, which we did in the afternoon on Thursday...it was a bit brutal because it was hot and my legs were hurting from the ride the day before, but we made it through!! I thought 8 wouldn't seem like so far, but after last weekend's long ride and run it was a bit tough. On friday I s...

the official last long weekend

14 days to go!! last night I watched Nick Potter and Kristi Johnson become Ironmen at Ironman Florida....I know i got this!! yesterday Eunice and I rode to Arlington. She was with me for about 2 hours 45 mins. It was cold, but not near as windy as it has been lately...still a wind of course. She will leave this coming thursday for her Ironman Los Cabos and she is totally ready! The last 2 hours I rode by myself and rode past 2 rivers and around 2 rivers and then back to Tahazouka and around Elkhorn til i got my 5 hours in. Ended up with 76.2 and averaged with wind and hills 15.2...not too shabby! need to take that up a bit for the race, but I know i can make this happen! Today was the last longer run...13 miles around Zorinsky! Estella and Caryn did 7 with me (and Maverick :) and then I did the big side on my own to finish it up in 2 hours and 3 mins. One week from Tuesday on the 14th, we start our trek across country to IMAZ! cannot believe it! This week is still taper, a couple o...
