About my training category. In an effort to simplify too much data, I am simplifying things for me. I have decided to use my blog to stay paywall free despite the applications I may use. I use a Garmin watch to capture all my outdoor and swim training – Garmin Fenix 5. This means my initial connection point is via Garmin Connect platform. From there I cascade my info to Trainingpeaks. This is my preferred application and resource to interpret captured data metrics for triathlon. I use ROUVY for my indoor and virtual training rides. Sure, I use Strava but that is my least preferred application, but I have many Team Zoot and other friends that I connect with there.
I am determined to change the way I breathe while running. I am striving to be more mindful about where I am and that I am not overdoing it coming back. I need to consciously stay within myself, especially with about 50 miles of cycling on my legs in the last two days. I strive to stay present enough to appreciate the weather and the simple breeze the crisp coolness of 32° F.
Another 2 a day – Later swim, cut it off at 500 as I rode 35 ish mile all total yesterday. Apparently this was a decent swim by the numbers. BUt man, I was a bit gassed.
Honestly, I’m still trying to process it all. It was 45 minutes of interesting. At least I got in another 13 or so miles of recovery with a few efforts . What just happened.
Planning for things is always an adventure with 4 kiddos. I was monitoring work as I rode at first too. I was able to come back and finish this one out strong and even got to ride my physical gravel bike to go fetch my kiddo.
Glad I cut back a bit yesterday so I can not feel completely gassed. And I am feeling a bit invigorated instead of wasted. I turned on the t100 as well to catch the swim and the front part of the bike. It’s good to hear both Rinny and Jan talk around what’s going on during the race.
I don’t think I have ridden this one completely yet, just a few minutes for something a while back. This was a good solid ride, flat flat flat, and a way to maintain cadence.

Anyway, it was a good and solid swim and it was nice to have that 100 in the middle. Now back to the grind!
Overall tho, I like this route to help me refocus my mindset. It’s a ride that allows for Big crank work for a majority of the ride, and a climb early on to keep me honest.
Irony staying here end up costing more because of costs incurred for food and incurred incidentals that were just included for us in the Hilton Hotel many of the EU and UN delegates used while those things were in session in Strasbourg. Just needed 10 miles tonight.
