Week 11 came and is now History

Target 15:00
Achieved: 15:25

Yeah Baby this week rocked as I now have officially finished the longest planned week of the 16 week plan. I put a lot of effort into Tuesday – Friday and was quite challenged with work as I had some presentations and customer plans to work on. I ended up with 6.5 hours of training on the indoor trainer. I did 103km (2 x Suikerbos) on Saturday and also did another 60km in Suikerbos on Sunday. This left me with 160km of altitude training (1900m above Sea level) and a total ascend of 4135m

This was awesome as all the ascending was done in just 2 short days. Roadies you may now wipe the sweat from your brows. To put it into perspective one does a total of 1000m of climbing in the Argus and this is done with a road bike.

My legs know I have been in a fight with Suikerbos and they will need some recovering. I cannot wait for next weekend when I can do this all again. I met some awesome guys on the weekend once again and it was a lot of fun riding with them. When I arrived on Sunday I was in the mood for a hard one and I bettered my time in Suikerbos from 3:01 to 2:45.

I also had a great run on Thursday and my legs were quite sore after the run. I need to get this going again as well as some swimming. I am after all doing IronMan ‘09 1 week after the Epic.

I am starting to find some hope that this can be done. My challenge this week is to find a way to replicate my so called success thus far in training in my work life. I recon it is all about the planning and execution of this plan. One should also be able to change the plan when needed and then execute on it. Well we will see how that all works out for me.

General:

I am hoping that everyone is happy with the new format of the Blog.

I am going to add a Vote option for all of you to direct me in what the Blog still needs.

We got our Sintrex Shirts this week and now we are officially branded and all. I feel a little guilty as I do know that we will most certainly not give Sintrex enough coverage and I so hope I can make up for it with this Blog. This is after all the reason I started the Blog. Thanks guys and we will wear these shirts with pride and will do our best to make the press and all.

This week in conclusion:

Wow, awesome and glad it is done.
