Sunday was the last day of my third real week of training. So far my body seems to be reacting pretty well to training. I was a little sore on Sunday after running a controlled half-marathon Saturday - but I was able to make it through my longest swim ever (2 hours), 90 minutes on a trainer and a four-mile run - which put me at 20 hours of total training for the week.

Training update
My basic training plan for the ironman consists of five four-week cycles. The first three cycles have three weeks of increasing hours each week with the last week being mostly rest - except for swimming. These first three periods are more about volume than intensity. The last two cycles have three weeks with the same number of hours, but increasing intensity.
