Defeated today

My training week goes Monday through Sunday and I just finished a very difficult two week block. Last week went like this:

Monday: EZ swim 2000m, EZ Bike 1.5 hr
Tuesday: 3000 hard swim, 3 hr bike with 1.5hr at LT, 10 mile run with repeats (hard)
Wednesday: 3000m swim, 2hr ride
Thursday: 3000m swim, 3.5hr ride with 1.5hr at LT, hill repeats
Friday: 3000m swim, 8 mile run
Sat: 4.5hr ride, 8 mile run hard
Sun: 17mile run

Come today I had longer sets on the bike and I was looking forward to nailing the wattage as it turn out Rhode Island is not going to be a weak field. I felt tired, but we all do right? I kept on having to recalibrate the SRM because my power was very sh*tty. Turns out the SRM was fine and the legs were not. I ended up turning around and calling it so I can nail my sets on Thursday. This is the last hard week before the taper and I hope it gets better. Taco Tuesday still goes on but I just dont feel as deserving tonight. The tacos were bloody delicious tonight!

Big shout to

The battle of the Hawaii boys in RI - too bad it's not really an island.

Have a great race, I'll be rooting for you!
