Here is my workout for today, a quick taper for an Olympic triathlon coming up on July 12, 2009 in Interlochen, Michigan (7 days from today). I’ve had a Cold for the past 2 weeks and I’m still recovering so I’m not at my best of training for this triathlon but my goal is to be under 3 hours - based on the level of training I’ve had this summer since I also fell off the bike about 8-9 weeks ago and I have almost full recovery right now. (My palm still hurts if I press on it but I have managed to do some “limited” push ups). I continued with some of my training about 2-3 weeks after I fell off the bike.

Today:

(Morning)

7:30am - 1/8 mile warm up (3.2mph walk) , 6.75mile run at about 7.2mph and 1/8 mile cool down (3.2 mph walk)

(Evening)

4:45pm - 40 minute swim in my pool. (swimming tether).Estimated distance - somewhere around 1,800 meters

Tomorrow (Monday) I’ll be running only 2 miles at around 6:30am.

Tuesday - Swim 40 minutes…

Wednesday…. we’ll see…

So far I think I’m doing well with my endurance but I’m not in my optimum for this event though…

Have Fun training!
