5x5k bike, 5x400 swim, 5x tired!

BIKE 90 mins and 26.4 miles details below
SWIM 75 mins and 3200y

Goal #1-3 at 75%
#1 10:20 18mph
#2 9:55 18.8
#3 9:53 18.8
3xILTs
Goal #4-5 at 84%
#4  9:21 19.9
#5 9:30  19.6

The last two intervals I wanted 9 mins, didn't quite get there. Amazing the difference in effort to only gain 30 or so seconds!
-------
As per Monday's post, today's swim was extended by 15 mins to focus on drills. But instead of tacking the drills on at the end, I turned the MS of 5x400 descending into 5x400 of drill-focused swimming. #1 was just easy, #2 was 4x100 continuous of drills, #3 was same with pull, #4 was another 4x100, #5 was slowing down completely drilling with pull. The times were disappointing -- 8:30, 8:30, 8:10, 8:40, untimed. BOOOOOOO.

I focused on "wide-front" swimming and high elbows. Why am I getting slower!? Whatever. Tomorrow and Friday -- more swimming. Get focused!

I realized swimming today that unless I can get my Weds swim moved to the morning, doing the Weds Y master's wouldn't work. (This was a midday swim, as have been the past few Weds). So work the schedule kinks out! Get focused!

I'm getting that tired feeling -- unsure I should be even driving, unfocused, low motivation. All part of the process, but lately I'm just feeling depressed a bit. You know what I'm going to say next?! GET FOCUSED! :)
