RUN 6.6 miles in 55 mins for an 8:19m/m pace
SWIM 3000y in 1:16, broken 300's
I came to a big conclusion about something yesterday after yet another a long depressing afternoon, and coming to that decision has me awake and happy. Or maybe it really is a post-run high. And maybe yesterday was a hypoglycemic event, but since it's been recurring for years now, I doubt it. I don't discuss non-training much here, so I won't go further. Suffice it to say, I'm having a better day so far.
The run was in 24F weather but there was a stiff wind out of the south. I joked that we needed to huddle and rotate like penguins do. After saying that, I ended up out in front and was accused of pushing the pace. DC was supposed to be doing 9m/m, ooops. :) Great run, I made a point of pushing a little bit, especially at the end.
Yesterday I lamented my inability to hold to a schedule. Today I stuck to it. I said pool by 7:30, I was at the water at 7:32. I said work by 9:30, I was there 9:34. My momentum is strong, my mind is awake.
The momentum carried my right into the swim. It added up to a 2900 yard day, and I added an extra 100 to make it a 3000. My longest yet this year!
The WU was 3x (100S, 100K, 100P). More mindful swimming.
The MS was 2x [(1x300 @ 75%, 15s) (3x100 @ 84%, 15s) (6x50 @ 85+%, 10s)]
The CD was 300.
All 3's!! My favorite number :)
Things felt sloppy towards the end, but the times didn't change much:
300's in 6:18 and 6:20
100's in 1:58-2:01
50's in 56-58s
I felt so much faster though! I thought I'd see a drop in times and it was disappointing to not see that when I checked my watch.
