Good week of running/riding this week. I feel like I'm getting in better shape although the endurance still needs to improve. My knee is really starting to feel better. I've noticed that I'm not having as much pain during everyday activities (kneeling, walking, bending etc.).
Trying to keep my heart rate within the Zone 1 is tough. If I run it jumps above 150 and as I walk it drops below 130. Maybe in time the endurance will improve and I'll be able to keep in within the range (or maybe as I get closer to the Tri the training will call for me to be in Zone 2 for the duration of the exercise).
Biking is great. This is the Tri leg that is most worrisome. Although I completed it last time, it was slow...very slow. So I'm a bit encouraged at my progress so far. However, I found that the bike leg this year is 2 miles longer than in 2005. The last race was in June and the tail wasn't completely dry so they cut it short. Now that it's in August, no luck. PRAY FOR RAIN!
This week Mtn Bike stats: Mueller Park - 45 Minutes - 3.1 Miles
We'll see how this stands up versus the next 12 weeks.
