Sunday Long Run



44 degrees and Raining. I felt I did a good job keeping my HR low. Yet I felt much the same as I do when I'm on the bike trainer. Somewhere in the 30-40 minute zone the power just starts to fade away. I'm guessing part of this is lack of recovery. Maybe it's all of it? So does this make for ineffective training? Or is this just the normal part of the build?
Guess this is why pro's have coaches. :-)

One thing is certain, I intend to taper well going into the races. I didn't do much the few days heading into that Florida Tri and I felt good during the race. It was good to experience that, I won't be afraid to ease off the gas when it gets close to race time.
