My first month of Ironman training was a complete blur. Early morning swims, lunchtime runs and late night spins. Not surprisingly, balancing family, career, training and sleep has been difficult.
During June, my training slipped a bit. I feel I'm still on track but with 4.5 months to race day, it is definitely time to step up the training. My attitude toward training and the race is still very positive.
Right now my focus is consistency in training and maintaining my confidence. Missing work outs or feaking out about what lies ahead present the greatest risk at this stage. This month I'll train (and frankly live) like I race - steady controlled efforts, grateful for the experience and expecting the best.
