WEEK 9 : 25/1 - 1/2/2010
>
Time flies when you are training for an Ironman.
>
5 more weeks to go b4 race day. Plan for a 2 week taper, hence, effectively left with 3 more weeks of real training time. But my real job at the office took precedence & ate up a big chunk of my training time.
>
Perhaps, not too bad a thing to happen since signs of fatigue & burning out from training has surfaced.
>

Rested, worked late at the office.

Fri, 29/1 : Rested
>
Not really. Out of office & conducted branch training in Ipoh the whole day.
>
Sat, 30/1 : Bike 100km
>
For 1st time in almost 2 years, a 100km bike ride felt like a short ride. Recent high mileage & lack of training time during the week must played a vital role in feeling this way.
Opted for a 100km ride to reserve energy for the long weekend (Monday being 1st February, a public holiday for KL), which I hoped to pile up some heavy mileage in running & cycling.
>
Sun, 31/1 : Run 31km
>
Home - Cyberjaya - LimKokWing - Home. Covered the distance in 3 hours 15 mins (excluding 2 pee stops & 1 refill stop). Probably best timing at the distance/ route for this season. Maintained good pace thru'out with minor negative splits.
>
Mon, 1/2 :
(a.m.) Abandoned planned long bike ride due to unforeseen circumstances. Ahhh...so much for reserving energy for the long weekend!!!
>
(p.m.) Took a nap in the afternoon & woke up just in time for dinner.
