Haven't updated in a while, been kinda quiet

No news is good news, right? Injuries seem to have healed, I'm feeling healthy again, sleep is getting back to normal. I'm putting a focus on the bike right now, getting in some more miles in preparation for Tour de Cure June 6-7. Trying to get in 100-120 miles/week right now over 3 rides. Rides for the last few weeks have been:

5/3 14.27
5/6 20
5/8 15
5/9 39.63

5/12 22.51
5/13 23.6
5/16 50.07

5/19 35.13
5/21 25.52
5/23 59.17

5/25 44.6

Today I'm planning 30, Friday morning 25ish, then going long on Sunday (hopefully 75+).

Then to really focus on the swim in prep for Triangle coming up in July.

White Lake Sprint Triathlon...a good day

Well, I didn't quite get the training load I wanted for White Lake, but I got enough to race happy and healthy. My swim continues to be my biggest limiter (43/58 in my AG), my bike was better (8/58 AG), and my run my strongest suit (3/58 AG). 17:26 swim, 1:15 T1, 37:59 on the bike, 1:01 T2, and a 21:02 on the run. The first 2 run times were 18:50 and 20:57, and I could've easily run a 20:30 if I would've concentrated a little. Probably faster, but I wasn't going to catch Paul, so I just plodded along.

A really fun race, as I got to race with my Team BNB buddies Greg, Kevin, and Paul. We all had a great time. No injuries, and absolutely no soreness the next day. Means I didn't go nearly hard enough :)

Next up: Tour de Cure (June 6-7), a double century over 2 days. Training commences immediately with ramping up of the bike miles. I'm already on a plan for Triangle sprint, coming up July 12th.
