2013 Chisago Triathlon - Swim Exit |
After Ironman Racine last week, I got right back to work. There are no off days, only easy days. And as I get to the later part of the season I am switching the focus to build some late season endurance. Many coaches like to add the speed at the end of the season in preparation for their key races, but I find it works better for me to work on it early season and see how that new speed translates to the longer distance. Ideally you make efficiency gains with speed that can directly correlate to holding the same pace at a lower level of effort. With that being said I didn't get in the necessary volume I would have liked but that is ok and will make up for it in the coming days.
2013 Chisago Triathlon - Run Finish |
This year I wanted redemption and I also wanted to do a little recon of Devon for what is being dubbed "The Great IronGopher-Badger War". Devon will be the lone pro triathlete from Minnesota competing at this spectacle on September 8th at Ironman Wisconsin. From the Badger's side we will have a strong contingent of pro athletes including Blake Becker, Chris Wichert, Paul Eicher, Will Smith, and myself. Devon was fortunately signed up for the sprint again and I am happy to report that I reversed the results of last year as I captured my 3rd win of the season, and career win #23. Results below:
