Training Summary Sep. 22 - Sep 28
Training time finally starting to drop, nothing too big this week, Friday was a Race Rehearsal ride.. Overall things feel pretty good. I think i'm ready, well, except for the sciatica which is going to bother me to the end.. :(

Planned time 12:40 Actual time 14:00 Totals: S: 10800y B: 140m R: 30

Monday: S:4500y R: 4m
R: was supposed to do mile repeats, sciatica really flared and hurt too much to run fast. bagged them and quit early

Tuesday: B: 26; R: 4m Nothing crazy here

Wed: S: 4500y R: 16m 7:37 pace
R: since this was a "short" run, i let myself go to town. Ended up 7:37 pace, last 6 miles under 7:15.. Felt good for the most part, except the butt of course.. Very happy about the run..

Thur: S: 1800y easy fun swim

Fri: B: 113m ; R: 6 miles
B: Race rehearsal (FT=284W)
113 miles 5:23:50.. TSS 282, Pnorm=205W
0-56 miles, TSS= 144, Pnorm=209W
57-112miles, TSS=138, Pnorm=201W
R: 6 miles

The goal here was to ride 205-210W first half, 210-215 second half. the second half of this route is tough, lots of climbing, hard to hit that right. Overall good, would like a TSS closer to 300.. The run felt great.. I love RR rides, they feel like recovery compared to the rest of the long rides i do... Feeling really good...
