Laying the foundation...

There have been some big changes to the plan this year. BIG changes.

One brick at a time I'll get it done. This season's first brick in the books...it gives me a nice benchmark to see where I am post-op, gauge my fitness and see where I can put in the most work to make the greatest impact on my times at IM.

Start slow, build a solid foundation - easier said than done.

Bike (insanely windy, gusts to 45-55 mph)

• Avg Wattage 197
• Max Wattage 519
• Avg mph 17.5
• Max mph 31.5
• 23.09 mi
• 1:18:26
• Avg Cad 91
• Avg HR 138

Racewalk (the BIG change)

• 4.51 mi
• 55:08.05
• 12:14/mi
• 132 bpm
• 600 cal

Also, on my short list is learning how to use both the Garmin 405 and Powertap effectively and then dumping it into TrainingPeaks WKO+ (thanks guys!!) to make heads and/or tails of all this wonderful data.
