Time for half-ironman prep to begin in earnest with about twelve weeks to go until the big day. Here's the program I'll be using; it's one of Friel's (I'm going to try to put in a couple of short, constrained strength sessions as well, for my own mental health and since I have no social life, but they're optional).
The race distance is 1.2 mile swim, 56mile bike, 13.1 mile run. The swim will be challenging but I know and like the lake and my best swim evar is just over a mile non-stop; the bike is gravy as long as I keep it tightly bottled; the run's going to be interesting as the 10k course on that site really spanked me in May, but with three half-marathons under my belt I know what to expect.
Now because I've slacked the tri-training since the May race, I'm going to ease into the program, allowing myself to do as little as 50% of the routine durations this week and 75% next.
So, to complete this, I'm going to have to be in the best shape of my life. And that's the goal too. What a happy confluence of intents and requirements.
