Well in route to the top of my game

Training has been fun. I knew I would came to Font Romeu and get back to the good old days when just the simple fact of putting on killer workouts would feel great. Hurts and as Sergio says, that's when it really feels good.

Looking back to last week we went over 100 km's on the run and 520 km on the bike. Swimming was just over 25km. It had been a while since I logged so many kilometers since I spent most of the time competing over the last few months than training. Long rides have been tough with Sergio always going hard on the hills but I can't remember the last time I did 120, 140, 160 km rides before coming here and I had forgotten how to be on top of my nutrition. In Font Romeu all rides end up with a big climb of 20-25km to the training center and it's so important to get to the last hour NOT in deficit. I have my new aero position on the hello kitty's bike "logged" to my body and the back pain has been minor.

After today's 160 km ride, we are putting a 180km on the upcoming weekend where we will try to do the Altriman's bike course. Altriman is a Ironman race held in Les Angles (10km from Font Romeu) and has a demolishing bike course with 188km total and over 5000 meters of ascent. Its completely insane and must be the hardest Ironman in the world. It's happening, has over 100 crazy dudes on the startlist and we will TRY to do the bike course. I can't even imagine how it would feel if I had to do a full marathon afterwards. I guess most of the guys aren't really here to compete.. they just want to finish it. But hey.. it's triathlon. It IS for crazy people.
