WELCOME

This is my first blog, so please be kind.
I hope you enjoy my writing and find it helpful in your own life and training.
Today there wasn't much training. Just an easy 2k swim in the AM and and strong tempo ride in the afternoon. Thankfully the weather here in Highlands Ranch has come around and the roads are dry. After 8 weeks of snow, it was nice to finally get out on the bike without having to put on every piece of clothing I own.
The past weeks I have done a lot of volume, 25-30 hour weeks. It's been a mix of swimming, running and cross country skiing. Biking has been at a minimum and mostly on the trainer. After talking with Neal Henderson of the Boulder Center for Sports Med, we decided it was time to cut back the volume and up the tempo work. I was surprised at how good I felt the first time I really went hard. I had a great ride and it was very motivating.
On Wednesday I will be heading to Tucson for 5 days and then I will go to Phoenix for 5 days. More warm weather riding is in order, as is working on the tan. I will keep you posted on how it all goes.

Cheers,

AJ
