This is week 18 in training for California 70.3 in Oceanside on April 4. This is the second "build phase" week that will continue to add even more speed intensity in the name of race specific endurance. I have lengthened the build phase by a number of weeks while at the same time I'm trying to balance the triathlon training plan with a marathon training plan for the Rock n Roll on May 31. The USATriathlon organization is doing it's yearly team challenge and I am on the Tri Club San Diego Team. It's a contest of which team of 75 can put in the most mileage. Each month has a different emphasis. December is swimming, though you keep track of all miles. Out of everyone participating (regardless of age group) I am 29th as of early around Tuesday of this week. I wish that would translate into a high placing in an event but mileage and effort can only go so far in compensating for lack of ability.
