Well it is 90 days to go. A lot has happened over the last 60 days. My left knee ( the one with 3 surgeries on it ) started hurting in early June. It has since pained me in a variety of ways. At first I could still run, but could not go up stairs. Then it was I cannot run and now I can go up stairs. I have been reduced to all my runs on the elliptical. The CL has told me I may be doing all my runs on the elliptical up to IMAZ. I am thrilled :(.
Finally I figured out that just 2 or 3 weeks prior to the pain I put some shoe shims in my left bike shoe to help me keep my left knee in while cycling. I have since removed them and the knee is feeling better. Note: there was hardly any pain while pedaling.
I have kept up cycling and swimming. I am extending distance and speed. I will be ready for these two events.
With all this I have become comfortable, but not happy, with the likelihood that I will swim 2.4 miles hard, bike 112 miles hard, and walk a marathon.
Ps I did a sprint aquabike this am. Did ok in the swim. I need more warm up. I need to figure that out. The bike was great. No problems with the knee til later in the day. It just started to ache and it is still aching. :(
Train hard, train smart
