Well it has been almost a month since Wildflower and I have been training pretty well here in Boulder CO. It has been great to be on Gordo’s squad and have access to great swimming and ridding buddies. Denny and I have had a few good rides and I feel like I am acclimating to the altitude pretty well. The big issue of course is still my running.
I have been able to get in one semi long run since Wildflower. Everything else has been an hour our less. Just yesterday the foot started to act up a bit. I’m not alarmed because I just took running off the schedule for a bit. I only have 4 days left until the race. Limited running won’t effect my fitness at this point. It is best for me to play it safe with the injury. I need to e able to get to a point where I can consistently run! I will be seeing a PT here in town that has a great reputation with the tri community. He thinks he can help knock this out for good while I am still running. Music to my ears!
Other than that I have had some insomnia. I am wasted today! I’m not sure why I am not sleeping well but I can tell you that I am OVER it! Hopefully tonight will be the end of that. If not we are calling in the drugs!
Honu will be one of my chances to qualify for Kona. I really want to race there this year so I added the Buffalo Springs 70.3 to the race calendar. That gives me one more option to qualify and I won’t have to put all my stress on Honu. But hopefully I will take care of that there!
Should be a great trip as lots of my training buddies and friends from all over are going to be there. Look for the race report and post race report!
Cheers,
