Week 18

The first week of my training program went perfect.  I didn’t miss any workouts for a total of 9:20 training time.

Totals: Swim 4593 yds, Bike 67 miles, Run  12 miles.

None of the workouts seemed too difficult at this time, however the swims did take more time than I had planned for.  This was the most consistent week of training I have had all year, and I have about 2 more weeks to establish some healthy training habits before school starts in August.

I am not planning on any races until September.  I will do a Splash and Dash on Sept 17th at Tempe Town Lake and a few days later the Lifetime Fitness Olympic distance on September 20.  Still debating on whether to do a half Ironman in early October (if I can still get in) or another Olympic up at Lake Powell on October 24th.

I am planning on dropping 20 lbs during the next 18 weeks.  First week I am down 2lbs.  The only problem all week was wrenching my back loading a couple bags of cement into the truck.
