Return to Racing
Even if its only a sprint distance (I remember when sprints were a huge accomplishment...See Fat MeHere ->). I'll be at the Ormond Beach Tri Y this weekend coincidentally this was my first race ever as mentioned in previous posts so its kind of always going to be 'My Race'.
Right now Im fighting the temptation to do too much too soon. Im dying to crack open Training Plans for Multisport Athletes and jump right back into the Half-Ironman plan. This obviously is not going to happen and is without question the thoughts of some deranged madman. Currently Im doing all 3 sports really slowly, not that I was ever fast, but everything right now is LSD (long slow distance). I have done NO anaerobic workouts. Although I have borderlined on a few brick workouts.
With my current stretching program I am able to manage the tightness in the ITB and last night ran 45 minutes in HRZ's 1-2 with only a stop for a 1 minute stretch towards the end and then finishing with my full stretching routine and ice afterwards). In the back of my mind its still annoying that 45 minutes is now my "Long" run but just little bits at a time. The rule of 10% in full effect. My long bike now is about two hours and long swim is about 30 minute or 1600yds.
My last race time for this race was 1:13, which actually turned out to be kind of a slow time for me, however Im guessing a 22:38 5k might take a considerable jump this time around. Im also a bit overweight now as Im just getting back to training. Wish me luck.
