Tired Hump Day

SWIM: 2000m in 1hr. Backstroke day, but I mixed in lots of freestyle.
RUN: 6 miles in 1hr. 4 loops of Art Hill. HOT and humid.

There were cicadas all over the pool. CHG warned us at the beginning to not breathe in a cicada. ICK!

I was once again very tired, but had better focus than I did Monday. And I'd set a goal of reaching at least 20 laps today, after my disappointment of only doing 1700m 2 days ago. We had 6x50 sets at the end in which we had to count strokes. I had 30 right arm strokes on the outbound, and 32 on the inbound?!? What, is the pool uphill in one direction?? I squeezed in the last lap right as the little kids started to take over the pool at 6:30. When I finished and climbed out onto the deck, I was too tired to get up. I just sat there. It took a few minutes to recover! On the plus side, my calf didn't cramp up today.

Did the run later in the evening. It was supposed to be a tempo run of 3x7' mod-hard, but it just wasn't in me. So I opted for hills--the same from WB's Tuesday workouts from 2006! Haven't done that workout in years. By climb 7 or so (of 8) I thought I could throw up. Cool! My Sauc's were a poor fit for this workout, my feet were hurting by the end. So getting to 6 miles or 1hr was a slugfest. Ended up back at the VC and waited for ment group to come back. Made for a long night. Didn't get to bed until 10:15, my HR still high in the low 60's, and I didn't fall asleep until 11pm or so. Only 5hrs sleep!!
