The Difference a Week Makes

Training for the Half Ironman, my second race of the season, continues. To boot, I'm in week 4 of Marathon training which will be my 5th and last race this year. It's the ultimate in physical multi-tasking. So the only way to do my long runs on the weekend and manage the bikes is to combine the two for a killer brick. So this weekend was a 90 minute bike followed by a 5 mile run. Essentially close to what I did poorly the week before with the Capitol tri. I finally fixed my bike shoes and inaugurated them on this set. Wow, what a difference that made. I felt good at the end which gave me hope that the weeks to come are going to sail by.
