Coach Early

I'm very happy with my new coach so far.  Nick is able to balance prescribing work outs and his expectations with listening to me and what I think I need in terms of intensity, frequency and blend of swimming, biking and running.  That's a tricky thing to pull off!  From my perspective, the one concern I have at this point is over-training.  Last year on about March first, I was at the same point in my build up.  But last year the race I was training for was mid-April.  This year the race I'm training for is May 30th, 6-weeks later.  I'm a little worried I'm going to over-do it and develop an over-use injury, peak too soon or just get burned out by mid-May. 

Yesterday was the first time I got outside on my bike. Raf and I rode 36 miles and it was really nice!  Can't wait till all the workouts are outdoors.
