This was week 2 of the new training regime. I won't make changes specifically for Alcatraz because I am still aiming to have a bash at the ETU qualifier, which is the week before. However, I need to build a bit of confidence for the swim and one major step was achieved this week with my long swim session:
I actually swam 2.58 km in my session, which is slightly more than from the boat to the shore. YES, I CAN! (I'll just shamelessly borrow that from Obama). Now I just need to decrease the time so that the boat doesn't have to bring me to the shore.
Maybe I shouldn't set goals for Alcatraz in terms of time and place and just race as well as I can and enjoy the experience. However, give that the swim is my weakest event, here's me setting one goal:
I do not want to be brought ashore by the boat that collects people after an hour!
Possibly my favourite workout of the week was the time trial intervals on the bike, it was sooooo good to be back on TT-bars. Haven't been riding on them in over a year. The new shorter stem also pays off.
The full training data is on my regular blog. Click here to have a look at it.
