Baseball was exactly what you would expect out of 3 and 4 year olds. Entertaining, for sure.

11:45 - 50' easy run on the treadmill. Things ramp up next week, first race in two weeks. Can't believe it.

Have a great day!

20 minute FTP Test session (1hr)

Raised FTP from 140 to 148 on new 155mm cranks, cadence much improved pushing well above 100 throughout entire session. High was 120 for about 5 minutes, average seemed to be about 105.

Followed by my standard 3.5 mile run off the bike around the block at 9:36 pace.

Still got a right ankle, lower shin soft tissue issue of some kind. Light swelling and minor internal pain, similar to a sprained ankle, iced after run.

Was going to go for a swim session, but will have to save for another day.

Just proof of life here. I've been pretty sick (cold/flu type stuff and then bronchitis, complicated by asthma) for the past three weeks, plus things have been crazy at work--really haven't been able to do any meaningful training, so nothing to contribute. Think I caught something from a sick seat mate coming back from Thailand, or possibly even on the way there as I was struggling with what I thought were allergy symptoms while at the training camp. The following week, I went to Singapore and did a very short aquathlon (couldn't really push the run due to asthma). Probably not the smartest idea, but I would not have been able to get any refunds on flights or hotel, and needed to hit the stores there to get a better pair of running shoes--the ones I got in the US weren't working out. That was followed by a class trip to a national park the next week where I managed to relapse and probably caught bronchitis from one of the kiddos.

Still not 100%, but last night was the first in a couple weeks where I haven't awakened coughing/wheezing/gagging; up to doing some easy workouts. Hoping I can get back to some semblance of training next week. Just so frustrating--things were really starting to come together by the end of last month fitness-wise and now I think I'm pretty much back to Square 1. Starting to question if a HIM in June is realistic or not. I did a strength session Thursday and felt good; didn't seem to have lost anything there, but a HIM is not lifting weights. Ugh.

A little late but here goes.

Performed a new FTP on the bike on the Wahoo, 1 hour smashed legs for sure.

Did a 20 min OTB run with the dog and felt pretty good.
