Peak training for B2B

9/21/13 Still ramping up for Beach 2 Battleship Iron distance triathlon   on Oct. 26. Only 5 weeks away.  9/9: did a 77 mile ride on the tri bike. Mostly rolling hills. Hard effort in hot sun.  1500 yard swim.  9/10: 22 mile ride and 3000 yards swimming.  9/11: just work 9/12:  6 mile run after work 9/13: 30 mile ride then swimming 9/14, Saturday: rode 130 miles in the mountains with 8500 feet of climbing. Took it slow. Rode up to Saluda, NC then over west to Hendersonville. Continued thru Dupont Forest and then Ceasars Head. SE to downtown Greenville. 9/15, Sunday,  3 mile run. bike and swim I can't remember how much.  These last 7 days I got in 21 to 22 hours of training.  9/16: Ran 6 miles after work.  9/17:  no training?? 9/18: rode the tri bike again for an hour or more then joined up with the Gusto bike shop group. At the 4 mile loop I sped up and a couple of guys chased me for a few laps and they gave up!  Very hard effort for half an hour or so. 50 miles total. Some swimming too, maybe 1500 yards. I joined the Y and will swim there now. The apt pool is overloaded with fallen leaves.  9/19:  Ran 20 miles Thursday. Swamp Rabbit trail - hot and sunny. Actually I joined the 6 am group with the Greenville police chief but I got there 10 minutes late so only got in 4 miles. Three news crews were there reporting. Slept til noon then did the other 16 miles in 5 and 6 mile chunks. A bit scattered. Joints and muscles sore at a normal level so that is good! Swam a bit in evening. 1000 yards. Left calf very tight and sore.  9/20: ran 6 miles after work.  9/21: no training.  The strange spasm in my left quad muscle may finally have gone away. It took several weeks. Was hurting my maximum power or standing and climbing on the bike. Been taking magnesium supplement for the muscle. Still not sure what to think.  Some long hours of training still ahead. I am at peak/maximum training levels now.
