This week feels like the first real normal week following the March in the alpine event. With a “normal” week came a far more routine training week.

It was a short of short week as I took part of Easter Monday off and was able to get a nice longer ride in - on a typical work week this probably isn’t possible.

While I missed one of my swims this week I did get to the pool. I was very pleased with how that swim went. I haven’t been in the water much since the middle of February. My water feel is of course terrible but all that XC skiing through March carried over nicely to the pool. Polling on skis is quite similar to the freestyle catch.

Longer rides on the weekend were solid. Feels great to be back on the bike outside. My base endurance is rounding out. Starting to extend the longer rides to cover more of the overall race distance and drive my total endurance capacity.

Looking forward to another strong week next week.
