Luke Bell ”Sun" Diego training in San Diego

Tuesday 08 July 2014
Things have been moving in the right direction which is nice after so much time dwelling on knee rehab and getting back on track.
 
It has only been over the past 2-3 weeks where I feel like the body is starting to "get fit" again. I am able to finish sessions feeling strong and wake up the next day ready to go again. Being based in the one spot and able to hit some quality session focussing on training and training alone has also helped no end.
 
With a few fun races in and around the area also to keep things interesting it will be nice to head up to Vineman 70.3 next weekend to see the improvements. I am not expecting an "out of the world" experience but it will be nice to see where things are at against what is always a world class field, before it is back at it in lead up to the North American Ironman Championships in Mont-Tremblant Canada to defend my title from 2013.
