As I type this I feel a sense of panic. Did I not change my font the last few posts? How embarrassing! Sorry to all the serif haters out there (myself included).
Monday: 1.25 hours of swimming + ~.6 hours of hard running
Tuesday: 1.4 hours moderately hard ride on the bike + ~.9 hours hard running
Wednesday: ~1.9 hours hard ride
Thursday: 1 hour swim + 1.1 hours of hard running
Friday: felt like crap so easy spin on zee bike and hour of slow running
Saturday: 3.1 hours hard ride (hopefully IM Pace) + 1.2 hours running (hopefully IM Pace)
Sunday: 1 hour easy ride + 2.1 hour run (hopefully IM Pace...faster than Saturday!)
Apparently that ends up being ~17.5 hours...for the whole week. It feels like a lot more hours...Honestly a little shocked and sad. *I just got a complaint that my typing is too loud. I'm currently gchatting w/ the Thuyzor (my Tri Muse).*
Anyways, as long as I can do the long workouts I don't have any qualms with coming under in terms of hours. I'm also leaving out time for strength training. Since I came from a lifting only background I feel like I have adequate leftovers from my previous life. I wonder if my assumption is accurate...
*I can't use "Anyways" again...*In regards to today's workout. I was a bit shocked at my pace during the 16 miles! I came in at 7'37" for the whole run. The fun thing is the first 4 miles were run above an 8'/mile pace so I finished pretty well. There were stretches of low 7s going on. I suspect the cooler weather has a lot to do with this.
Nutrition wise, sweet potatoes, beer, black turtle bean salad and whatever has been working out well. My legs are obviously sore but at least I can still truck it when needed.
I'm getting a bit excited to get in the open water and practice some modified kicks in anticipation of wetsuit usage.
Until the next time I decide to cut into my sleeping hours.
