Time has been flying by for me and somehow I am already almost halfway through training for my first half ironman. Whaaat?! Right now I am holed up in the condo my family is renting in Chincoteague, Virginia for the week. As per usual after only one day at the beach I look like a lobster. I brought my road bike down for the week and am so glad I did. It is so flat here!
Anyway, I thought I would pop in with a quick training update since I raced last. The week following the race was on the lighter side with a few harder efforts tossed in here and there. I tried to listen to my body and make sure I felt recovered before jumping into anything too crazy.

Last week was my biggest training week ever, with a new weekly PR for swim yardage and bike mileage. I was certainly tired by the end of the week but I felt better than I expected to. Last week left me really excited to put in a few more big weeks before nationals to see what my body is capable of.
