Last October while training for the Silverman I did many 4hr 45 minute bricks. They were a 4 hr bike followed by a 45 min run. That's a decent brick. Not as long as I will be completing soon considering IMAZ is still 4 months away. Last year on these 4hr 45 min bricks I averaged 12.5 miles an hour on the bike with a 12-13 minute per mile pace on the run.
Today I completed the same brick, but the major difference was I smoked the course that I struggled with last year. In the 4 hrs 16 minutes on the bike I completed 69.5 miles. That's a 16+ MPH ave. When I got back home & hopped off the bike I felt great! No fatigue in the slightest. I then completed a 4.1 mile run in 35 minutes. Today my biggest struggle was not continuing past the time my coach wanted me to train. I wanted to keep going. I felt amazing!!! I'm really feeling confident about IMAZ. My coach has got me on an amazing program that I'm getting phenomenal results from. Things are looking good.

Dude, at some point you have to give yourself some credit for all the hard work you put in! You're really a good person to be grateful to the other people in your life, but if you didn't have the desire and the dedication, it wouldn't happen. Pat yourself on the back!
