The next two weeks will be all about sharpening up and finally getting in some higher intensity running and longer sustained threshold work on the bike. This is going to give me a big boost going into Eagleman. To this point nearly everything has been base work/strength oriented training. Went to swim practice this morning at Virginia Weslayan. The group I swim with is TAC and there is not a better group to swim with in hampton roads that will push you to get better. If you're a triathlete and looking to work hard in the water...you need to get there. It's MWF at 6AM. Two of the fastest swimmers in the area just came back so that will be fun getting our butts kicked by them day after day. I was swimming 1:15 pace or just under for the various sets today and I was only faster than 2 or 3 guys.
I am done not racing to my ability level. This past weekend was a nice wake up call that you can't just turn up to races and do well. You need to be focused and be in attack mode. You can't be complacent in the half ironman distance and below if you want to do well. I did not want it bad enough this past weekend. From now on I'm going to be taking a bit of a different mindset heading into races.
Check out something Janda is working on. Correct run form is crucial. All of his and my athletes are working on improving their run form.
Came across this video of Courtney Atkinson . He was 2nd at the 2nd round of the ITU World Championship Series this past weekend. Pretty cool to have Red Bull as a main sponsor!
Lastly, there is a practice triathlon going on at Final Kick this coming Sunday. What a great way to practice some pacing and transitions before Breezy Point. Give the store a call if you'd like to sign up!
