Sometimes the Coach has to keep the Athlete in Check

Yeah,

I wanted to race this weekend:

Saturday was the Sandia Mountain Bike Race.

Sunday was the Cochiti Triathlon.

I would have liked to do both.

I told my friend if I didn’t do that Triathlon, I may be able to pull off the Mountain Bike race.

Thursday Kimmie and I went to Cochiti we swam and then did 1 lap of the bike loop.  My average 15 mph, but intensity felt like 20 mph.  Then, I was catapolted and took the next day off.

I wanted to do it so bad, but with my eyes on Austin 70.3, as a coach, I realized, it would be better for me to spend my time training, getting some good blocks in, instead of a 2-3 day set back, which could turned into 2 weeks.

It was hard, very hard, not to race.

I did it.

It was worth it too.

I don’t feel like I ran 50 miles anymore.

That is totally amazing!

Yesterday I rode through the canyon for a good 42 miles and about 2500 feet of climbing, I was very tired afterwards.

Today  I went for a run.  I wanted to go 6 miles.  I brought the dogs, and Mojo can’t hang any more.  We went 3.  A slow 3 with lots of breaks in the shade for water with the dogs.

I felt like I could have flown.  Like I could have been set free in the wind.  Mojo kept me back.  He’s to the age, it’s so sad.

I then, went to UNM and swam a 2500.  It was good!  I managed a 500 kick, wowsers!  Legs are ‘back’.

I also, managed the intensity with a 4 x 50!!   My first time with intensity since Leadville.

2 weeks.

Feels good.

Austin, here I come.
