Cycling and Swimming

With my first Half Ironman less than two months away, I have been focusing on cycling and swimming since I have come back to Taiwan. Starting this weekend, I will start a more intense training program with a lot more running and cycling. I have the 2012 3rd Humpback Dolphins Cup Running Race (half marathon) this Sunday and I have not prepared for it at all.

I got my first KOM (King of the Mountain) on Strava on the 橫坑巷72 2號 Climb. I've also been riding up and down the mountains near my house and was pleased to see it lined with courses and racers using Strava.

This is the end of my KOM.

This Summit Resort is a huge castle in Xinshe. （新社）I took a little break here.

Xinshe is seriously the capital of mushrooms. They are everywhere.

Mushroom bears with my bike. 

Cycling aside, I have been swimming at least twice a week. I have a few set workouts. My favorite is 1500m race against myself. I'm down to about 26 minutes.

39 days until Taiwan 70.3.
