39 days to ironman

So...can't really write about what I'm feeling without sounding melodramatic (or maybe like a spoiled brat)....the short version is I've lost the faith that training will lead to faster times. Yes, of course that doesn't make sense. Maybe its that I'm not enjoying training any longer. The weather certainly isn't helping. I'm pretty much done with cold rain. today is a 2 hour run and we have thunderstorms and 45 degrees :(

Ok..like I said, melodramatic and spoiled.

So...what the heck do I do with this? That's the question I've been trying to answer. I'm in for Ironman mostly because I have time and money invested and I have three athletes racing there.

Ok..so I'm in. Shit...

Here's what I'm thinking. Train the best I can. Don't judge...just do the work. If the schedule calls for zone 1 do it, if it calls for 150 watts, don't think, place value on it, don't think ahead. Ironman will be here whether I worry about it or not.

Wednesday:
Swim with 15 min test, 940 yards. Not a great effort, but decent enough. total of about 2400 yards for the swim

Wednesday after work...was 30 minutes into a 2 hour treadmill run, my long run for the week, when I got a call that the F4 workout was canceled and the meeting time was moved up. That ended my workout. I was pretty upset to be honest. But the meeting was good and it was nice to chat with folks in a relaxed environment.
