OK...well I had a great swim lesson on Saturday and even I saw/felt like I made some improvement. :) Then Saturday night I had a birthday party to attend and let's just say that I didn't behave. In fact, I kind of blew my whole NYE resolution to stop partying! ARGH. Well I certainly paid for it on Sunday!
By Monday I was mostly recovered and went into my Tri Coaching gym for my 'run lactate test' with one of my coaches. Well the good news is that after 40-minutes of running/testing, my coach determined that I am built for endurance running. And, that my body obviously has some memory and experience with long-distance running. My statistcial line for where/when I produce and clear lactic acid is mostly horizontal. I have to improve my numbers, but it's the right shape/look and gives me some advantage. (An advantage that I don't have with biking.)
He also gave me a friendly lecture about it being time to buckle down and get serious about my training because Florida 70.3 is now ONLY four months away.
YIKES!
So....here I am at 5am in the morning typing my blog and getting ready to go off to a 90-minute computrainer class. Its pitch-dark out and -6 degrees celcius...just when I or anybody else would prefer to be snuggled up under the covers...but then again, the prospect of having to perform a half-Ironman in just four months in incentive enuff to get out of bed and out the door....
