Four weeks out from the Ironman 70.3 Boulder Triathlon and it was the 4th of July holiday during the middle of the week. I adjusted my training scheduled and did my best to enjoy the holiday and get in the required training.

Takeaway from the week
It was fun to combine the holiday week with a great week of training. I made adjustments Tuesday – Thursday but got in all of the required work. We rode in the Tour of Saints bike ride in St. Joseph’s, Minnesota. It was challenging 50 mile ride on a hilly course with some nasty cross winds at times. Therefore, by the time I got to my 5 mile brick run after the ride, my legs barely moved. It was a tough first mile but eventually got my legs to move and finished the 5 miles. I’m ready to get back to a ‘normal’ schedule next week.
