Training

Things are pretty much back to normal for me now. It's always hard for me to get organized again after a trip.
It takes me way to long to do my laundry, put away the race gear, catch up on the mail and all the little things that get left behind. Yesterday I spent an hour installing a new part on my grill. Don't ask what I did, but I ended up having to order a part from Coleman, take apart the grill, install the new part and put it back together. What's frustrating is now only 1 of 3 burners lights. Now there is another chore I have to do. Too much wasted time.
The training has been going well though. I rode to Boulder from Morrisson on Tuesday and averaged more watts than the last time I did it. I felt really strong, so I went for a swim afterwards. Of course after 1k I was told I had to get out due to lightning. That was frustrating as well. I was feeling great and the water felt so nice after a long, hot ride. I ended up going swimming again in Highlands Ranch after driving home and still felt good.
I have a big bike block planned for next week. It will include riding to Boulder on Tuesday, from Boulder to SteamBoat Springs on Wednesday, and then 4 hours back on Thursday. Throw in some running and swimming and it should be a great block.
