This July I had two triathlons and a TT. Both triathlons were longish sprint triathlons. I am happy with the swim and bike for both races, the run I am a little disappointed with. I have mentioned this in past posts. I think that I am going to have to live with the fact that this is going to be a slow run year, for reasons I have mentioned previously. I just did not put in enough time early in the year, and I have not done enough speed work. I think a good thing to start with this fall and winter will be to do some strength training. I think, I know, I need to build strength in my core and back, along with legs. I need to start running longer in the winter into spring, with speed work starting in the spring. I think thought I could start later this year and be ok. Turns out, I was wrong.
OptumHealth Performance, OHP, is closing at the end of August. I have worked there part time since the day they opened. I have swam in the pool before it was OHP, worked out in the studio since it started, and I have competed in the races they have sponsored. I am a little sad that they are closing the facility. It was a good place to workout. They are trying to work out something to keep Masters swim going. I hope they do, it is close to work and at a pretty good time of day. If they don't keep it going, I will have to find a new place to swim, and a new place to workout.
The workouts this July are about average, a little low on the bike, ok run, and ok swim. Not sure what else to say about July. It was hot. I had some ok races, some ok workouts. I can't think of much to say today.
One TNT this month, on the July 31. 11 miles = 29:30 = 22.38MPH, this is slightly faster than my average for this year. Still not 23MPH. One more TNT left in the middle of August.
I am reading an article on sports drinks, Gatorade, Powerade, etc in a British medical journal. Once I finish it, I might link to it with some thoughts. See what I can get done.
