Subject: RE: 11.3.17 Friday! Racing to full ability, even with a miracle cure, is just not going to happen in that time frame. Best case scenario I can start run/walk in 3-4 weeks. That gives me ten weeks to the race. It's a long way from zero to a 1:45 HIM run leg. Not sure I will see that again at my age after that much time off.
Anyway, I am not doing the training to set myself up for an optimal race right now. Even if healthy it would be more of a "complete" race. I actually have run some of that course years ago, and it is beautiful, mostly on trails--would suck to go all the way there and not be able to do it. But if I have to I will go just for the swim and bike. Toying with the idea of switching to the full if I'm still not running by next month--If I'm not going to be running anyway, why not get my money's worth on the rest of it? Not sure this would be allowed, though.
AM: One hour trainer ride with some Z2 stuff and a bunch of short pickups.
PM: 30 minutes of strength stuff.
Good luck at State! |
