I was just checking my training log today and realized I'm only two thirds of the way through this month and I've already done over 100 miles more than last September. Now in all fairness my season ended September 12th last year, after the Muskoka Ironman 70.3, but I like seeing the increased mileage. It feels and looks good.This year my season will end in November after Clearwater, but I won't get much more than 3 - 4 weeks off. Today I officially got my airline tickets issued for China. I'm now registered and have airline tickets in hand. There's no turning back now. My only concern about racing in March is pretty much all my bike training will be indoors. Five to Seven hour rides indoors, Yuck! I'd rather ride everyday in the rain than indoors. If it doesn't snow much, I may experiment with winter riding.
Today's training was tough to get the biking in because it's getting dark early. Actually, at just after 5 pm today Summer officially ended. I guess I have to stop wearing shorts to work and get back to wearing jeans. The weather today was awesome, 23 C with a light humid rain. I really enjoyed my ride. Then later tonight was my run in the dark. After my stumble and wipe out a couple of weeks ago I made sure I kept the knees high. It was one of my slowest runs in a long time. I guess I'm still recovering from the race.
