July 12th is slowly but surely approaching. After my involuntary break for the last week, I got back in yesterday. I had a day off and cycled with my buddy Steffen for 5 hours through Franconian Switzerland. Man was he fit !! ... man I was flat afterwards !! While Steffen was getting faster and faster, in the middle of it all I was afraid to come home before dawn. At the next supermarket I stocked up on everything that was there. A cheese bag, a Berliner, Duplo and a whole bottle of Punika. After the subsequent sugar shock I was able to go again and I was even able to start the journey home from Pottenstein at a little speed.
The coming weeks are sometimes the most important for Roth, so my battle plan looks accordingly: In the end, I take a day off in the middle of the week every week, otherwise I can hardly scrape together the missing bike kilometers from my point of view. In addition, the entire weekly schedule is expanded a bit. The focus is now no longer necessarily on the training-intensive weekend, so the training load is better distributed, which is ultimately better for the regeneration between the important units.
In addition to numerous kilometers by bike, it is now becoming more and more important for me to swim a lot and especially "in neo". The only way to get the feeling of extra shoulder strain is actually by swimming in it frequently. I always had my best swimming times when I swam often (sometimes only 45 minutes) but almost always in the neo. Unfortunately, we are rarely blessed with lakes around here, so I have to go to the outdoor pools for that. Although I find this constant "turning point" annoying ...
When running I am currently sure that my current level is sufficient. I just want to keep that until July, nothing more 😉
My next competitions are likely to be:
Baur Triathlon, end of May
VFL time trial
Kallmünz triathlon
Rothsee Triathlon
By the way, who else is at Time trial on 4.6. want to participate, it is getting tight!
In the meantime over 50 starters have already registered, we will probably not allow more than 60-70.
skin in!
