Going Tubeless
Well, I am being forced to go tubeless no matter how much longer I thought I could fight it. Everyone has been telling me how much better it is blah blah blah, but now I actually have to do it if I don't want to be spending hundreds of dollars on tubes. I ordered all my tubeless tires from MAXXIS and my Stans NO TUBES kit online today. Hopefully this will be the last thing I need to purchase this season with the exception of one more entry fee into Nationals. I now have a month and a half too get ready and I am really starting to feel a bit better. My swim is crazy good and I think its due to the time off as well as some weight training that Ive been doing before every other swim. Even though it takes everything out of me I have been doing swim specific weight training before a simulated race training session. After lifting I just do an 800 meter sprint followed by a 2 minute run (in place while in the water) as fast as I can....then another 800 meter sprint. Its killer but when I take a day off and get back into the pool I feel really fast. Well see... I think I will only do that twice a week. As for now I need to spend some QFOT with my wife. PEACE!!!
