I have to go out of town next Friday-Wednesday for a work conference in Gulf Shores Alabama and if it wasn’t for that I was going to go a few days later and cheer on Pearlandhorn. It dawned on me last night how ridiculous all of this training can be when I spent 30 minutes online verifying the resort has 2 Pelotons so I can train while I am down there as it’s my biggest week of training before the race.

I’m closing on my house purchase Friday and leaving 10 days later to go to Florida. My bike has been set up in my in-laws spare storage room for the past 3 months. I’m so excited to have my own house I could scream.

45 today and I pulled the group the whole time on the ride. Tomorrow I am doing a funky triathlon where I work out in that it is 2,000 meter row, 300 body weight exercises ( pushups, burpees, bench hops and step ups) then a 5k then I will run 7 more miles after.

Did a nice little ride over the weekend. Felt like John Denver…country roads…take me home…

Average speed is a bit off due to having to turn around multiple times, stop for cars, etc.

You will be very close to averaging 20 for race day.

Did a 23 mile spin and ran 4. I am at 30 miles for the week and running 10 in the morning before I leave for Birmingham and then Gulf Shores. Legs are extremely tired and 5 am will be here early but this is what I signed up for.

Done. The bread is in the oven.

Packing the RV tonight and heading out tomorrow. Spending the night in Monroe, LA or Jackson, MS tomorrow night. PCB on Thursday. Chill and ocean swim Friday. Race Saturday.

Good luck?

Do you have target paces for bike and run?  (Swim wouldn't mean anything to me).

And did you do a full 58/13 brick before?  If not, how close?

Thanks!

Target pace on the bike is close to 20/21 mph. Running pace would be great to be about 8:45 per mile average. Im wanting to be done with the swim in 45 minutes which I think is doable. I’m really hoping to get a sub 6 hour total. That’s my main goal. Secondary goal is 6:15 which is still faster than Waco. If I don’t get sub 6, I’m 100% doing Waco again in October. I’m probably already doing it but haven’t signed up for it yet.

No, I didn’t do the full event brick in training. I did around 58 miles on the bike and a 9 mile run twice. One was pretty tough and the other was great. I did do a lot more brick work this training cycle than last time. Hoping it pays off.
