Lake Placid (coming soon)
The lead up to my Lake Placid race has seemed less than enthusiastic. I am doing most of the workouts that Randy has posted for me, but they are not feeling all that great. Kind of feels like I am going through the motions. I need to reset my goals for this one. Instead of performance goals (which I almost certainly won’t hit), I need to focus on process goals. If I can have a smooth race and keep a positive mindset I will have had a successful race.
Swim – Calm start and finish my stroke. I am losing power with a short stroke and i need to extend it. That will be my thought for the swim segment.
Bike – Survive the descent into Keene. It is a very fast (I hit 76 kms/hr in practice) downhill and a dangerous section of the course.
Run – One foot in front of the other and thank the volunteers at each station. Keep positive as it will hurt.
Last week I travelled 201 kms during my training.
See you at the Lake Placid finish line!
Good luck! I’ll be following along to see how you do and take some tips and tricks for my very first 1/2 iron man in June of 2019!
I’m absolutely new to this whole thing so I’ve started a blog to document my journey. Any advice or inspiration you could give me would be much appreciated as I move forward with my training. Congrats on your 70.3!
