So since it's almost 1am and I'm wide awake I thought I'd throw in a blog entry. Today I've managed to continue the solid week of training that I've been stringing together so far. After a full day of work, I got on my bike for a super challenging and yet surprisingly not mind-numbing web cycle workout. It never ceases to amaze me how I can be on my trainer, in the basement but it feels like I'm in an actual spin class even tho coach Sean is simply on my computer. Such a wonderful concept and I find it extremely motivating. Pushed hard on the bike so my legs feel a little gummy but I think thats just a sign of good solid work :)
Tomorrow - well actually today's swim is going to be short and fast and likely quite painful - so I hope the legs can manage. But every workout I check off is a step closer to Ironman (116 days - YOWZA). Not going to lie, I'm completely stressed out about it - but I am trying to remind myself that by the time the big day comes I will be ready. I have awesome teammates who are super supportive, and my sister and cousin have already committed to volunteering on race day so they can be there to cheer me on.
I did manage to pick up a new bike helmet today. I was working at a school not far from Gears bike shop so I stopped in and tried a few on. Turns out I really couldn't tell the difference between the Giro Savant (which I ended up getting) vs the substantially more expensive models. The savant was quite light weight and wasn't too expensive. The pricier models do have more ventilation but from what I can tell anyways didn't feel any (or at least noticeably to me) lighter or more comfy so I saved a few bucks and went with the savant. It's a really cool looking matte black with white and red so will look awesome with my bike.
Alright going to try and turn my brain off so that I can get a bit of sleep before swimming in - oh a little over 5 hours…sigh…
