MCT Security & a bonus swim!

BIKE 56.2 miles in a little over 3:10
SWIM 2500y in 1 hr, 10x150 drills focused

Today was a mess. I woke up OK but my head went to my job worries. By the time DH got up and came downstairs I was in despair and all mental. My stomach was churning and adrenaline-shot laced. And I was about to go on a bike ride? Alone? With only myself to talk to?!?

I ride the MCT's for their security, familiarity, and safety. The interstate for bikes, I like to call them. Once I got driving I was feeling better, and once riding even better. I had "It's My Life" rolling in my head, various wildlife crossing the path ahead of me, and a nice headwind to set the tone of getting to work.

Not much to say about this ride except that it was quiet everywhere outside of my head. My tummy was churny still, but I was eating OK. Things greatly improved when I came to the last rest stop and came across 3 roadies heading my direction. They asked about my Ironman tattoo then said I'd better not drop them since they weren't Ironmen. Not today, boys.

I came home to wait for the gas utility to come by for some inspection. In that time I tried making some sweet potato energy bars (FAIL!) and started feeling sick. I burped up most of my lunch :( which made me all the more stressed. The Monsters In My Head....

To my surprise, I actually wanted to swim! So off to the pool with my upset stomach. The plan was Monday's Bonus Swim: WU then 10x150. I did swim-drill-swim-etc  and things were going pretty good! Except that every time I came vertical at the wall I had to burp then swallow stuff. Yuck.

I gotta get my life together. My body can't keep this up, it will start to impact my training.

Lucky for me, the pool closed minutes after I finished! I closed down the pool! This brings my weekly swim total to 4 swims, 4.5 hours, and 10650 yards! WOOT!
