As I mentioned in my last blog post, this is a big training week for me with the better half and my son out of town. I started it off with my first Central Park ride in a long while--three loops around the park. Unfortunately I made the mistake of heading over there at 2 P.M. on a beautiful Sunday, and the loop was jam packed (particularly the southern part). I was still able to get some pretty decent riding in, and I always find dodging runners/bikers/walkers/etc. to be some pretty good bike handling training. Oh, and I was smoking roadies the entire way--although to be fair any serious ones probably got their workouts in well before the crowds began to gather.
Yesterday I did a four mile run before heading into the office, followed by a weightlifting session (chest, triceps, and legs) after work. This morning I did a 15 mile ride/two mile run brick, which felt really easy (particularly the run). I am planning to get in one more bike ride, two runs, and maybe another weightlifting session this week. It seems crazy to me that this is the most I have trained in a week in I don't know how long--and it will still be a lot fewer hours than I used to put in when I was training for half Ironmans in 2005 and 2006. That is all I know right now--will post another update later this week.
