I've added speed. Just finishing was fine the first time, I now know I can finish. How hard I can push to get there we will see.
I've added numbers. I hate math, but the numbers I need to focus on are 19 mph pace on the bike and under 9 minute miles on the run. I am going to monitor both and see if I can maintain them. The swim is still a warm up, I just can't spend 35 + minutes in there splashing around.
I'm racing for peanuts. I think this is going to be the key to my potential. I am usually hungry during a race, I think peanuts are going to save me. I have previously loved pretzels, but they are harder to carry and more difficult to cram. Peanuts fill me up a bit more. They'll get their trial run this weekend.
I'm cutting out transition recovery. Before I basically did everything but sit down and ball up and cry in transition. It felt like a safe zone away from the action of the sports. Now I'm not stopping. Anything I need for recovery I'll get in motion.
I'm going sockless. I bike without socks and my feet do fine, running is a little different. It will take some toughening up, but the new Zoot shoes feel good.
I've lost 10 lbs. My previous fighting weight was 165. I felt like a boulder. It was awesome. But, I'm stripping off everything I don't need for speed. I am at 155 now and on my way to becoming a welterweight champion.
