Source Endurance

Okay, I think I’ve got it nailed down, finally!! The tendonitis episode from March is officially gone and my recovery has come along really well. The first two weeks of running was a test of patience, because I was hoping to suddenly have the running form I had right before my injury. It took about a week or so longer for everything to come back as I had expected, but I can honestly say that all the pistons are firing. Where my running was a little slower to come back was in my long runs. I’ve been able to get in some solid longer runs, but I wasn’t able to get back to the +20 mile runs that one really needs to hit to nail a full Ironman.

For this reason, I decided to forgo the Ironman Brazil plan and focus on Ironman USA Lake Placid in July. I’m going to race the new Boise Ironman 70.3 on June 1st instead of Brazil. This way I can safely build my long runs back without trying to “cram” for Brazil. I still would love to race Ironman Brazil some day, but it wasn’t in the cards for this year. So my schedule has been updated to reflect these changes on my “schedule and results page”. I’m really excited for the races I’ve got coming up.
