I felt so strong and energetic getting almost all of my training workouts in. I would have made all three of my swims but the pool was closed for deep cleaning and I was too lazy to find an alternative. I combined several workouts with girl time which always makes everything better 
I’m solid on the bike and making progress in the pool but running is my biggest area for opportunity right now. I’m very unmotivated and slow; I know I need to get out there, commit and make it happen.
My Saturday long bike ride was amazing! I rode the first of three laps of the 140.6 course plus some extra mileage to make 60 miles. The course was full of hills, including the big bad Sugarloaf Mountain. I rode Sugarloaf two years ago and had to stop to walk the rest of the way. This time I powered through and made it to the top unbothered!
The best part of the ride was starting at the start of the race course… I’ll be swimming in this lake before I know it!
Next week’s goals: Swim at least three times. Ride faster on my long ride. Run harder. Eat to fuel. Keep focus on sleep.
What are you training for?

This is awesome! congrats on a great week of training. I’d love to someday do a half-Ironman, but sometimes have a hard time finding enough time to workout during the day. How do you fit all this training in your days!?!
Honestly, I just schedule it!
This should go in healthyashley.com/training/ ! (Bring your training page back
)
Awesome effort! Currently considering signing up to a duathlon in September: run 10k/bike 22k/run 5k. Full of self doubt but then I read about your training and feel like a wuss!

Nice work!! Looks like a beautiful place to swim
I’m thinking of training for an ironman next fall – any tips?
I am doing Tough Mudder Tahoe in September and climbing Mt. Shasta the first weekend of August. You cannot really “train” for either event like you train for a tri, but 8-10 hours of activity each week (Spinning, crossfit, bike-commuting and running) is how I am preparing for them.

wow. that hill looks killer. awesome job!
i’m training for my second sprint triathlon in october!
Hi Ashley, I’m planning to participate in Asian countries on this kind of 10K bike/5k run and 300 meter swim. I’m a bit afraid if I can swim this far but I think I’ll have a pretty hard training. I drink a lot of water and takes vitamins so my body will stand on what kind of training I’m having, right now, I’m just curious if I need this a chlorella supplement if ever? Or I will stick on my vitamins C and training?
