7 weeks into base training, upcoming tests

As add up my weeks mileage, I realize that next week is a "rest" week. That means its time trials on the bike, run, and swim already. That's probably a good, thing. The rest. While my volume of training has been a bit on/off the past two week, the intensity has been to high. Resting, will be good. Then I'll get back to basics.

What's also nice, is that I've finally hit the pool again. First time since the Accenture Triathlon last august. It felt good. Not coming from a swimming background, I was pleased that I was able to go out and swim a mile as a decent page. I did a 1000 yard time trial (not all out though) in just over 20 minutes. We'll see what happens on this Sunday though. Either way, its good to finally get back into the pool.

Excluding a likely ride on the trainer tomorrow my week comprised of 1 mile swim on Sunday, 14 miles on the trainer on Monday, 4 mile run on Tuesday, a 10k (6.2 mile) on Wednesday and Friday, and a combination spin/run for 9 miles on Thursday. Assuming I get two hours on the trainer tomorrow that might add up to another 25 or so. So Destination ?????? has been updated. (psst, rumor has is that Destination ????? will be revealed around Easter)

Thanks for stopping by. And for your concern. I am not a believer of running with pain, actually. I just did it because I did not want to lose the base I had acquired so far.
