IM training

[Wahine]

Hey IMers, how's everyone doing? I know we've got some IMAz athletes out there, you gals shoulb be going pretty hard right now. Wait a second...suddenly I feel a little silly for wondering why we haven't heard much from you.

As for me. The first base week is almost over and I feel fantastic. Fabulous even. I have a 2.5 hour ride on the trainer scheduled for tomorrow and once that's done I will have logged between 13 and 14 hours for the week. I had two great swims, my speed is coming back. I had three great runs including 1.5 hours on the treadmill today doing some aerobic threshold work in intervals deterimined by the shuffle of my 80's Ladies iMix. You can't beat Blondie or the GoGos for getting your turnover up and The Cowboy Junkies are great for the longer hill intervals.

Well off to bed so I'm fresh tomorrow!! I love the focus of IM training.

So here I am going into the second weekend of my somewhat serious IM training. So far so good. I'm tired tonight, but that's understandable, I've had a big week. So all I have left are my long run tomorrow and long ride on Sunday. Then my peak week for Base 1 phase and on to a rest week. Yipppeeee.

Actually, I'm really enjoying the training. My legs are starting to look like real cyclist legs again and the focus is great.

I am a little lonely though, over here on the IM training thread, all by myself with not a peep from my IM sisters. Where is everyone? I'm not really alone am I? Where did you all go?
