Week 1 - Complete

Week 1 of Half Ironman training is complete!  Woo Hoo and Go Me.

It was a lot of hours set aside for training and it wasn't perfect.  I had a business trip, so I did 2 long hours on a stationary bike in a hotel gym.  Boring, but I did it.

Also, I rode my bike today for a windy hour on Fiesta Island.  A few years ago I had a meltdown because I thought the gusts would blow my bike over, but it didn't really bother me today.  I still need to work a bit on descending hills, because I'm a big ol' fraidy cat, but I rode with confidence today.

Starting tomorrow, I'm in "Swim Training Week".  I love to swim and of course, I'm overjoyed.  A week of little running, little cycling and swimming everyday.  It'll be like every summer of my childhood.

For the record, here are the rest of the this weeks training plans and actuals.
