“Success in the sport is, above all else, about enduring suffering.” Chris McCormick, two time Iron Man World Champion
Welcome to the Sensory Strides podcast.
The heat is back and my speed seems to have come with it. Wed I had to do 4.5 miles in 86 degree heat. I had an amazing run and averaged 13:36 minutes which is amazing for me!
Saturday I had a choice between heading to Winona and riding with my tri team on the Triona course or riding in Westby’s bike ride for their community celebration. While riding with a group is important for me and improving my speed, I choose to sleep in until 7 and then got up and watched the Royal wedding for an hour or so and then headed out and just did a ride on my own.
My bike speed isn’t at the 14 mph average I need for the race this summer, but I am improving and hope to make that goal. I am more comfortable riding and maintaining the higher speeds on the flats, but if there is a hill, my speed drops way down. At least I know where my focus needs to be.
I also added strength training back into my workouts. I have to strengthen those core muscles! When I had been doing strength training before I was injured, I had really noticed the improvement in my arms and am hopeful I get that back. I love strong arms!
Thanks for joining me this week. Don't forget to stop and smell the roses.
