Crazy week at work... And the craziness will continue for at least a month. I missed working out on Tuesday because of work but hey that's just how it goes sometimes. I'm a slave to training plans and it puts me in a very foul, irritated mood when I don't hit my plans for the week.
For the week I ended up with:
- Cycling - 5:03:
- Run - 3:38
- Swimming - 2:00
- Weights - 1:35
I was off about an hour on my cycling and swimming goals for the week. One thing I have noticed is that I don't have the same "Whatever it Takes" attitude that I had last year at this time when preparing for
IM AZ. Last year, I routinely left my house at 4:30-5am and would ride in 25 degrees weather for 4-5 hours at a time. Now, if it's any colder then 50 degrees I'm bagging the ride and jumping on the trainer. I keep telling myself that it is going to be a long year with both New Orleans and Florida on tap for the year and that I need to pace myself and not flame out to quickly. However, my "bike" is not quite where I would like for it to be at this stage so I'm hoping my "fear of failure" mode kicks in soon.
On a happier note, I finally joined a master's swim group. Smartest thing I have done since I started training for triathlons 2.5 years ago. I joined the lifetime master's group in Garland. Small group 3-4 people which means plenty of 1 on 1 time with the instructor. I've learned a lot this past week. My stroke isn't terrible but it
definitely needed some tweaks.
That's it for now... One more 12-14 hour training week then I'll back off for a week, do some testing and rest a bit.
