First week of training began January 7th. Planned total time for the week was 12:15 and actual time was 12:30 so right on track. This week was just to get into "the swing of things" really. Bike time this week was 5:15. Run time 2:26. Swim 3:24 and strength/core 1:25.
Mentally it was so exciting to start officially. It was however a difficult week with my Grandmother passing and having her memorial service.We also had a tornado on Thursday! Slight damage, F1 but still a wild day. The tornado was about 2 miles south of us so no damage. The hail storm was phenomenal!
We had approx. 3" of hail that fell here in maybe 3 minutes. We normally get little pea sized hail but this was dime sized and some marble sized hail too! I am confidant that with everything that transpired this week that I will be able to balance life pretty well during the training.
Bonnie and Doug started their IM training this week too so it is fun comparing work-outs with one another on BT.
This coming week durations of running and biking ramp up a bit. Long run will be 1:50 and bike will also be 1:50.
