I started this blog with the intention of documenting my training for my first Half Ironman race in late October of 2012. It was kind of fun keeping track of everything so I decided to keep going. Who knows where this is headed but I will keep the information rolling and see where it goes.

7.11.14 Swim
After a brief consultation with Coach Bennett yesterday, I decided to only swim today and skip the optional short bike ride this evening. I have a 100+ in the heat tomorrow so it will be best to get a little extra rest for the last long weekend workouts before my taper. Weird in the water. I feel tired for the first 500-600 yards in the pool and then feel great until the end of the workout. I added a few hundred and made it an even 3500 in the water today. Arms and shoulders were a little sore today. Not really pain, just sore from work. I think things are looking good. I want to get some swim sessions in with the wet suit over the next few weeks to feel comfortable before I get to Boulder. Hard to believe the days are dwindling down this fast. I have put in nearly as much work in the first 6.5 months as I did in almost the full year last year. I have tracked all of my mileage since I started doing this back in early 2011. On Wednesday, I rolled the odometer on 10,000 miles on my bike.
