as you can see i have been busy lately, its not a lot diferent as my other Ironman including IMAZ “fiasco”. I will have a smother end of the week as i am racing an 1/2 IM distance tri here in portugal after that i will still workout quite a bit :D
last week (the one you see) as i said went very well, except friday where i felt very tired.
Swimming speed is good in the pool, having good workouts on the bike and sunday i had a very decent ride/run, i ran really fast off the bike and that is a good motivator for me…
speaking of motivation i still lack my motivation (and this is a private joke) 
Looking at your training schedule I don´t think you have time for motivation…
But I´ll keep you posted..
Just make sure you finish your bike workouts with hills or at least on big gears to simulate the last 20km in IMLP (going up). It’s all about the bike in Lake Placid you can lose tons of time in the last 40km down there… hills and head winds are waiting for you.
Have a good training week.
Training is going fine, that’s good. Will you (bike) ride home after the HIM?
As for the motivation, Fernstie said it all, you will have some difficulties with the schedule…unless…(well you know what I mean!)
Your blog have a good sense of humor,i guess so do you.
You are really talented on writting article,i will come as soon as you update blog.
