Weekly Reflections and Focus<\/h3>\n

This last week was a bit derailed.  But I will say that my runs in Central park were pretty solid.  I am trying to slow down and make sure I don\u2019t gas out in the final few weeks of build up.  What is truly suffering is my cycling.  I chose a long 9 mile run instead of a bike ride because of the wind and rain. Funny thing, there was a big period of time i could have fit it in.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been paying attention to EliteHRV app and making sure I stay within ranges.  The photo\u2019s below demonstrate some of the readings from last week. <\/p>\n

I have been noticing in my runs, how much I tend to be anchored tot he watch.  I started it and placed it in my back pocket or under my long sleeve and just ran.  I tried to focus on breathing and how I felt.  Ironically enough, i felt without exerting too much effort, that I had plenty in the tank.  That\u2019s a good feeling. <\/p>\n

All things considered, this was not my best week for volume nor accumulation but what i did get in was high quality.  So my Central park runs I decided to ignore the watch and put it in my back pocket or didn\u2019t advance my sleeve while running.  It\u2019s curious that I was running a bit easier and faster, without any bias from my watch.  I really tried to remember to eat first then run and I think that helped a bit too, even though I had to get out a bit later because of having a full stomach vs being ready to go, but then eating and sleeping.<\/p>\n

Family, little Juniper was sick this week and Liz did her best to keep up.  When training for an event with significance of magnitude like a Half\/Full Ironman, adaptations are mandatory.  Sometimes I\u2019m on the ball and do decently for my wife, other times I just fumble and scurry to help when it is pointed out to me.  Let\u2019s just water it down to learning is always on-going int he #familybalancetri equation.<\/p>\n

Travel was also a bit of a disruption with the Delta weather fiascos.  I was delayed in getting back home by about 2 hours and made me miss a few shuttles that would have had me home earlier, but we adapt.  I was able to rest a bit and attend to other things.<\/p>\n

Light week in the thoughts as I am just focusing in on having a good go on May 6.  A friend of mine asked what my timing expectations are, and to be honest I think I will keep it to, better than last year is my hope, and my fallback is at least level with last year.<\/p>\n
