Back in the saddle

I'm training again. In fact, I had my biggest week ever in terms of time. In the past week, despite taking two rest days, I put in seventeen and a half hours swimming, biking and running. This included a hundred mile bike ride (called a century), and an eighteen mile run.

My volume is back up, but I definitely lost some endurance with the time off. That run should have been my second twenty mile run, and the century should have been a week ago. With Kona four weeks from Saturday, these differences matter.

I'm right on the bubble in terms of successfully completing the course under the cutoffs, but I really, really appreciate the chance to try.
