Almost There

Less than two weeks until my sprint triathlon, and less than a month until the international distance event.  I’m regularly swimming the distances I need, I’m cycling almost double my long distance once a week.  As for running, I’m not quite there yet.

I came closest this morning.  I just got back from a 5.9 mile run, which I completed in 1:31.  Fifteen minute miles are not where I want to be, but I need to get comfortable with these distances before I start working my speed up.  I would be super pissed if I turned an ankle just before the race. My next run I’ll tack on that last bit and get up to the 6.6 miles I need for Miami.

My wife and I went to a 45 minutes spinning class yesterday.  I think that’s helpful. There really aren’t any hills in South Florida, so it’s nice to spend some time pedaling with more resistance.  I think I’ll get a swim in this evening, then I need to put in a long bike ride tomorrow.
