Tired. I never really knew the feeling. Sometimes you wake up, and you're tired. Not really - you're just sleepy. Sometimes you stay up too late and you're tired. Not really - you're just tipsy. Tired is working out for twelve days in two weeks; a total of eighteen workouts including a sprint triathlon. Twenty-seven & one-half hours total, averaging 2.3 hours per day (not including the two rest days). If you need to see it to believe it, check the current training log.
To counter the tired muscles, I've got two recovery weeks ahead of me, followed by the Racine Half Ironman. After that, another couple weeks of hell (read: big time hours) leading up to three weeks of tapering and then the big day. That fact that it's now exactly two months away is a bit frightening. (Yikes!)
Summaries from two weeks this week. I was too busy working out to get last weeks up in time.
