August is going to be tough – Road to Goa, Week 5

July 29: 12 weeks to Goa | Weight: 80 kgs | CTL: 65

Started the week slowly – the Olympic Tri and a good end to July were followed right up with a bit of work travel, and a rough work week. All this meant that I didn’t get to back up the tri with a ramp-up in training. If anything, it was a small step back.

Too much red for my liking

A missed swim set and a missed long ride on Sunday (due to work travel) were the main problems with the week. Of course, I did manage to sneak in a couple of short, but crucial (for my training momentum) runs over the weekend. This meant that I was just about able to keep my head afloat with the training plan. A cheeky little brick session was also a nice positive.

Not much to say about this week. Time to build up the volume and intensity.
