REST
I haven't had a dedicated rest day since July 7th when the Evolve swim was canceled for lack of lifeguard. I kinda knew I'd be skipping today's swim last night, and confirmed it when I woke up this morning. No pains, no tightness, no cramps. But a mild headache, buzzing head, stupid fatigue.
My forearms are crampy, my face feels droops, my legs are week.
But I did 20 hours last week!
SWIM 2:50 and 7300 yards
BIKE 12:00 and 196 miles
RUN 5:16 and 35.60 miles
COMMUTE 15 miles
This was very close to the training plan goals of 3hrs swim, 10hrs bike and 6hrs running.
I need to focus on swimming more, and I need to start thinking race-specific cues and planning. How far apart are aid stations, what does the course look like in terms of turns and hills, what gear do I need or want. The list never ends!
