This was a decent training month. I certainly spent a lot of time training, but I’m not confident that it was as targeted as it could have been. I think it’s a combination of the fact that I’m still being a little careful with myself in my general training and that I haven’t raced or really tested myself recently. I know my fitness is improving all the time, but it’s hard to evaluate how much it’s improving or where I really stand. I had a great day being out and about during the L.A. Marathon and loved my 18 miles on the Backbone Trail. Both training days were a blast, but maybe not the best specific training for my upcoming goals. (At least partially because I don’t have my long run training legs yet and each of those long runs hobbled me for a couple days!)
Wildflower is just about four weeks away. I’m really looking forward to racing but I feel like I really need these next few weeks of training.
The biggest thing for me this month was the announcement of Pablove Triathlon Team. We’re really excited about the team and the ways we can support The Pablove Foundation. Our racing kits are still on schedule to be delivered before Wildflower. All the team members are doing on-going fundraising for Pablove. Huge thank you to those of you who already donated; for anyone else interested in donating, here’s the link to MY PERSONAL FUNDRAISING PAGE.
The team is growing and anyone can join the team by signing up on the Triathlon Team website. In addition to helping Pablove and their efforts to fight childhood cancer, the team will have social events (the first one is next Wednesday in Silverlake) and team members get to take advantage of some sweet discounts from our sponsors.
