What a great week! I have ridden a high since last Sunday's completion of the half marathon, and although it was a bit difficult to refocus on resuming training (ie goodbye taper week) for my "real" race during the beginning of the week, overall my efforts have been good. I have had a great time with my training since it began fourteen weeks ago, but admittedly there have been times that have been more trying than "joyous". I was able to recapture that joy, even if just for a short while, on Saturday during a great session with my tri partner Lizzard. We had a great speed workout in the pool followed by a nice run on a beautiful day in City Park. It was one of those sessions where everything felt like it came together right, and I felt strong and fast and was just plain happy. Unfortunately that feeling didn't last through my long bike ride and what was supposed to be a brick workout on Sunday...but with a new attitude about my perceived failures in training, I am over it and still happy and have a renewed incentive to keep bonking away from my workouts.
