It was a pretty lackluster week. The positive thing is that I’ve had no pain with my workouts. The negative thing is that I barely fit in any of my planned workouts…. On Sunday we drove back from Edmonton and then went to pick up my bike, so we did a short bike ride, but I was too tired to do anything else. Come to think of it, fatigue was the main reason I didn’t hit all my workouts. Fatigue and again with the nausea. And the whole work thing. It’s been busy this week, I worked an evening and couple extra hours, so it’s been hectic. And with the pool being closed. I digress.
Swim. Only swam once. It was in the outdoor pool which I love. I did just under an hour and swam 2300m. This gave me a little confidence boost that I will be ok doing the distance at my half ironman next month. Unfortunately due to pool closures and the limited lane swim times of the outdoor pool, I didn’t get for another swim this week.
Bike. Sadly, I only got out on my road bike once…. just once. I did 35 km one morning before work. I was on my mountain bike twice and got to hit the trails with it and it was so much fun!
Run. Felt good for the two runs I managed to squeeze in. I did 12km by myself and 9km with a couple girls before work one morning. It was great. For the 9k, I ran the whole thing and felt fine keeping an average 5:40 pace, which was conversational for me. For me, this is fast for an easy conversational paced run… especially lately.
SWIM = 2300 m
BIKE = 60 km
RUN = 21 km
Ugh. Hoping next week will be better. Still went for yoga as well! Race day tomorrow for olympic tri….
