I feel like I've stagnated a little bit in my training as I'm working hard to ramp up at work and learn a whole new side to digital advertising. The one thing that I have at work now that I'm taking advantage of is my standing desk. I was never granted one when I worked at Yahoo, but now I'm thrilled to be able to do so! I've been traveling a good amount over the last 3 weeks, so I haven't used it as much, but I think it has really helped with the strengthening of my hips and back. I've also gotten back into going to spin class, which has been nice and makes me feel a little less guilty about missing certain group practices.
At this rate though, I've calculated that it will take me approximately 8.5 hours to complete the race. That is not good enough, and I need to really kick my own butt to get faster.
1.2mi swim @ 41min/mi = 50min
T1: 5min
56mi bike @ 11.4mi/hr = 4hr 54min
T2: 2min
13.1mi run @ 11:30min/mi = 2hr 31min
Total 70.3 calculation = 8hr 22min
I'm really going to focus on my biking and running, since I have the Brooklyn Half coming up in 2 weeks and I know the bike could make or break my race. I need to mentally start getting into the game and not get distracted by things such as awesome weather finally returning to NYC.
