Week 16

Training not going well for the swim portion, not feeling good about going to the pool and swim.  Need to come up with a different strategy, maybe going to the ocean and swim will get me in the mood to train.  Total weekly training Swim= 2000 meters, Bike=141.39 miles and Run=18 miles for a total of 11 hours and 53 minutes.  Purchased triathlon running shoes Pearl Izumi Isotransition, for the first time I will try to run and bike sockless (specialized tri shoes).

Week 15

Trying to get back into training, not a great week, but it was fun. Spent the weekend sailing saturday/sunday, sail from Miami to Boca Chita spent the night in the island, swim for 30 minutes on saturday by the island, and sunday kayak for 5 miles.  Total week training Swim=2550, Bike=85.85 miles and Run=3.8 miles for an approximate time of 6 hours.  I should be happy that running is my stronge leg of a triathlon.

Week 14

Training was ok, not too hard, had to get ready for the Nautica South Beach Triathlon.  Race went ok, I am still to slow at the swim leg, need to improve the swim.  Total traing for the week, Swim=3,900 meters, Bike=97.83 miles, Run=12 miles for an approximate total time of 10 hours and 2 minutes.

Week 13

Not a great week of training, trying to get back to the groove.  Nautica South Beach Classic Triathlon next weekend.  Plan is to bike and run as scheduled and swim 5 days 1000 meters, see if it will help my swim leg time.  Total training time for this week Swim = 1000 meters, Bike = 80.04 miles and Run = 12.8 miles for an approximate time of 6:54.
