Week of June 1st

I really feel strong and I'm not sure why, maybe its the extra sleep and I'm not eating a lot of junk food. I'm loosing a little weight, I think I weigh around 176.

I think that real reason is that I did a lot work during the off season swimming and biking in early January. I think the USAT competition motivated me in the off season. I do need to work on my core. It's relatively in sad shape.

I plan to work more on the hills this week, but I do feel like I'm moving through a little easier now. Most probably because I know where they start and end now.

My workout schedule for next week is shown below.

Sunday - Brick: Bike 20-25 and Run 6 - 8 miles.

I didn't do a brick today. I had an opportunity to ride with Victor (one of the OC Olympia Triathletes). We went on a 40 mile ride through the Weingut (wine country). This was the most beautiful ride that I have ever been on. It's in the mountains overlooking the Rhein river. The hills are very tough though and I need a lot of practice if I am to do the Weisbaden 70.3.

Monday - Swim 2,500 meters and jog 3 miles (hills again)


Tuesday - Run 5 miles
Wednesday - Swim 2,500 - 3,000 and Bike 20 miles
Thursday - Run 4-5 miles
Friday - Rest
Saturday - Swim 3,500 Meters and Bike 40 - 45 miles
