Month One Complete.
The first month of training is complete, ending in a series of tests: functional threshold, swim and bike time trials (trainer, road and ramp).
Base training so far has been fun overall. My two biggest issues have been pacing (keeping my heart rate in zones 1&2) and time management. I only completed about 80% of the scheduled 9-10 weekly workouts. Time to step up the game, and keep the social activities in check. The main deterrent for early morning workouts has been the extra glass of wine the night before. I’m declaring March zero alcohol month to get closer to a 100% completion of planned workouts and will keep you updated who this is turning out.
