Okay so I haven't kept this log up very well.
It's tough to do when there hasn't been much progress to report. What can I say? I train 5 days a week, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday with Tuesdays and Saturdays off. I mostly train one sport a day with Monday being the double day either swim-bike or bike-run. According to the plan I'm on my first triple day is the actual race, which freaks me out a bit.
My swimming hasn't improved much so I'm starting to get a bit discouraged. I also need to buy a new bike before I can confidently race and my financial situation is a bit precarious at this point. All in all, with just 6 weeks to the Milton race I may not make it.
I feel strong. My running and cycling are in good form. I'm eating okay, although a bit more of a nutrition plan might be in order soon. My weight has stabilized at 195lbs which for a man of my height isn't bad, and my blood pressure which was the key motivator that started me on this path is down to 119 over 85! I could stand to lose another 5lbs but I'm not worried about weight loss at this point.
So there you have it. I'm off to scour Craig's List for a cheap used bike and some swimming lessons.
