Summer Training

June has been a very good month for training and healing. I have not followed any plan for the OLY I will be doing in August. I am just going by feel with a heavy emphasis on the swim and bike. One of my only goals has been to bike with others whenever I can. Over 98% of my rides in the last 5 years of training have been solo. Went out with two of my friends for a 30 miler and took turns attacking and covering the attacks. It was the most fun I have ever had on a training ride. My close friend and running partner is now serious about triathlons. It is cool how focusing on helping another makes my own workout seem so easy. Now it is time to start upping the run mileage and make a decision about a September HIM. My back is stiff but pain free. My left leg feels healed. I have a lot of energy and motivation. Now it is time to start pushing it again to see how my body responds.
