Austin 70.3 - Training Week 1

First week of training for IM Austin 70.3 after a crazy week-end @ the XTERRA Magnolia Hill Ranch:



Saturday: 21K Trail Run
Came back from our Florida road trip @ 1:00 AM & woke up @ 5:00 AM...
Let's just say that it was a killer run/walk... Fell 4 times in the sand/pine tree needles...








Sunday: Off Road Triathlon (800 meters Swim/12.75 M Mountain Bike/4 M Trail Run)
 
I was sore from the run the day before... + Riding in the sand is not easy! I kissed a few trees & fell once... no big deal, just bruises that are going along with the cute cycling tan on my legs!...

So I kind of started the first week completely dead... lol

Saturday
 (7/19/2014) 
I went in the beginning of the afternoon for a bike fit @ Shama Cycles. Adjustment of the saddle (+1 inch), lowered the handle bars, installed a longer stem, changed saddle, fixed the position of the clip/shoes...


Bike Test (AM) - Time (0:55) / Outside
 
Planned - (0:55 / 45) / Actual - (0:55 / 43)
 WU: 1x5' easy
 WU: 1x5' alternate 30" 100+ rpm / 30" easy
 WU: 1x5' moderate

  Bike HR Test Set
  If you have a stretch of road with no stops, use that for this test over the trainer. If not outside, setup the trainer and fan so you can have as much airflow as possible. Goal is to hold effort even through the entire 30 minutes. It's better to start off too slow and build the interval rather than start to hard and not be able to finish. Wear your HR monitor if available and give it all you have! You need to hit lap on the HR monitor 10' into the test but you still go all out for the entire 30!
 1x10' All out!
 1x20' All out!

 WD: 1x10' easy
WU: 1x15'

 1x10' Zone 5 {136}
 1x20' Zone 5 {152}

 WD: 1x10'

  1x5' (80/85 rpm) - 92 bpm
  1x10' (90/105 rpm) - 136 bp
  1x20' (90/105 rpm) - 152 bpm
