RUN: 14 miles about 2hr 10mins, the Frostbike 20K with some extra beforehand. I did not get into this run, I was stiff and forced especially between miles 8-11. It was cold out but I was dressed OK. But for some reason, I just never got into it. Probably because I had enough else to think about that day, as the FBR flyer event was scheduled just after the run. I thought about the FBR quite a bit in the run, so maybe that's where my mind was. No pains, no soreness, no after-effects. Great news for the marathon build! Bad thing is I didn't each or drink much before the race, only 1 gel with some water during, and only a coconut bar afterwards. That definitely may have affected the race for me. See below.
SWIM: sunday at Crestview, only 1008y in 30 mins. Obviously wasn't in a hurry, and obviously not into the swim either! Again, distracted, this time by the fact that I broke DH's computer this morning. I splashed some coffee on it. Also, just as I was getting into the pool I learned something that tells me the FBR is going to hit cap!! That's good, no, great, but at the same time stressful. What happens when we run out of schwag?!? Will we have enough food?!? Every event should have such success!
Friday was a rest day, I spend the morning and the aft/evening working on race errands. I'll be so glad when this is all over (only 5.5 days!) and life can return to normal.
So I've done all this reading on paleo/primal, and now it's time to put it into action. Right now, I'm living 'primal' so to speak. No grains, no processed, but still a lot of carbs. But as my training increases, things get worse. I'm reaching for raisins, cashews, dates, and cheese as snacks. And while those are all healthy grabs, they aren't optimal. Goal for next week is to get the PfA into action, re-read the highlights and get going! More lean meat, good protein, more structure to the pre-, during, post-, and recovery stages.
