August training volume

How about some actual training? The amount is lower because of all of the dental fun, the purple, and the last week of August, where every day's workout consisted of 'don't exercise, don't bleed out'. Still, I managed to get some real quality training in. Almost every mile of the bike was either up in the gaps or repeats climbing Kennesaw Mountain, and most of the running was off of the bike.

Swim 11.53 miles (7h 53m 46s)
Bike 222.83 miles (21h 53m 22s)
Run 81.51 miles (18h 37m 43s) (plus 13 minutes of stress testing on the "Bruce" protocol)

I meet with Matt tomorrow morning to readjust the final few weeks of training based on the latest limits (no more high heart rate training at all). I start to workout again Wednesday (light), and Thursday for real.
