Nah, Starfish. My Tri coach already thinks I spend too much time in the pool and he's probably right. I consistently come out of the water in the top 10% of the overall field. Last year at Pacific Crest HIM, I was first out of the water in my AG and lost 7 places on the bike, gained back 2 on the run to finish 5th. So what I really see is a biking intensive in my future once I'm done with this.

I haven't posted here because my week has not been intensive at all. My legs feel abotu 90 to 95% today. I still can't hop without feeling my lower legs, especially my tibialis anterior, a bit. I think I'll be ready tomorrow. Then I'm supposed to shoot for a 40+ mile week with lots of split workouts. I'm excited and a bit nervous.
If I can hit 40 miles by Thursday (that might be pushing it), I'll have over 100 miles for the month!!
Meanwhile, I've got a new bike coming so I better get over this intensive thing soon so I can start riding like a maniac.Living life like there's no tomorrow.

Ran 5 miles this AM on the flat. Felt stiff and a bit sore when I started but warmed up really well and had a good recovery paced run for 5 miles. Interestingly enough, my recovery pace is now a 10 to 10:20 min/mile on the flat.
I feel great now, about 1 hour later and plan to go out for run #2 later this afternoon/evening.
5 miles down, 35 left to go.Living life like there's no tomorrow.

Well, I did the second half of my 10 mile split workout today. 10 down 30 to go. Can I do it before the end of the month? We'll see.
