Coach gave me an assignment to watch all the Rocky movies. I have made it through the first two and will get through the rest over the next couple weeks! : ) Play this theme song while you are reading the rest of the blog- it will pump you up! This is going to be my go-to song in my head during the IM!
I just finished up two big weeks of training. Last week I had over 17 hours of workouts and the week prior I did over 20 hours of workouts. Workouts included 102 and 75 mile bike rides along with some long swims – 5000 meters was my longest – that’s 3.1 miles of swimming in one workout people! PHEW! I also had a long run of 16 miles – which I did using a run/walk combo.

This week I am tapering off on the biking but, still have
some long swims and another long run. I
am doing 18 miles tomorrow and that will be my longest run before Louisville.
