RIDE: 45-ish miles in 2.5 hours with long interval sets 33 mins, 24 mins, 16 mins, 9 mins all at 75%. I really wish I had the Garmin to let me know distance and HR, hopefully it arrives tomorrow.
RUN: 5.4 miles in 51 mins. Brick run about 10 mins after ride. Felt surprisingly good, but as I neared the end I felt the fatigue setting in. By the time I got home it was raining and I was done. I'm still recovering hours later.
This was supposed to be a 13hr training week, but it coincided with a rest week in the marathon plan. The marathon plan (and my work schedule) won out and so this week was only 9 hours. I missed 1.5 hrs of swimming, 1hr of biking, and shortened a 1.6hr run to only 1 hr. Next week the IM plan has 11:15 hrs, but the 26.2 plan has a 20-miler. Guess who will win again?
I need to make some changes, now's a good a time as any. I'm not sleeping well at all, I'm taking about an hour to fall asleep. Sometimes 11pm rolls around and I'm still tossing and turning. So I need to pay attention to my sleep pattern. I also need to quit eating big dinners before going to bed (it might be a contributing factor) and instead have the big meal earlier in the evening. My coming home late from work is doing this--dinner is not until 8-8:30pm lately. I'm usually starving and overeat. With bed at 9-9:30, it makes for a bad combination. Goal this week is to schedule all this better.
This week:
SWIM: 2601 yards
BIKE: 85.8 miles
RUN: 26.15 miles
Oh and tomorrow morning is another Monday Masters swim. Yeehaw.
