the man who rode with Ben-Gurion
Just finished the 1st week of the peak period.
The weeks with the highest training volumes of my trainig plan.
The week started with my first ocean swim of the season. Puting on my wetsuit I was thinking how all the winter leg weights workouts paid off, “this is so tight”, till i realized i forced my right leg into the arm sleeve… after fixing my suit i met Gadi the TI-Zen-man and his freinds that kindly invited me to join them for a 4k swim in the super flat ocean. was great!
Saturaday, while Anat was swiming with the Zone3 no-smilin’-while-trainin’ team, Tamir & I had the honor of riding with one of the courages 26 that did the first Israman race (Back in the days the dinesores walked the Earth). Roni (“we used to ride into Gaza, eat humus & ride back” ) came carrying a modest nutrition plan – 2 bananas & few dates, and while we were swallowing 300-400 calories per hour he was kicking our asses climbing the hills on the way back. Overall was a great 140k ride (Roni did 170 riding from home… ) to Emek Ha’ela with perfect weather and a 30 min run around Einat for desert.
My weekend concluded early Sunday morning with a 30k run.
To summerize – feeling good, no pains/injuries, just very very tired…Next weekend, bike peak with a 180k ride.
5 Weeks to IRONMAN BRAZIL!
and Tamir… you must get some sunshine on your white shaved legs…
my shaved legs have 2 states, either pale white or tomato red
I like his legs. Silky smooth. He will get a tan soon.
