SWIM 1200 yards in 31 mins
BIKE COMMUTE 11 miles
My third swim this week, and my fourth for July. That poor number likely explains why just a 200 y interval wears me out. Today I did 4x50 focused on reaching for the wall with arms entering ahead of shoulders; 4x50 with pull buoy focusing on keeping body from twisting in the water; 4x50 kickboard; then 2x 300 as 100 pull, 100 swim, 100 pull all with good form. I thought about skipping this swim with the usual "oh I'm tired" and "I need to take at least one day off" and "yesterday was hard". Happily none of it worked.
With the Sunset Hills Tri in mind, I'm thinking on the 300 y distance. Based on today, I'll need to seed myself in the 6-6:30 swim time! I need to improve.
As my reward, I got to download my OkGo Song. I've already listened 3 times, no more until a weekend swim. The goal is 4 swims this week.
How do I feel after yesterday's run? Tired! Nothing hurts, but I can feel the fatigue just biking and walking around. My lower back is fatigued and my calf muscles feel tight. Not sure I'll do the 10K tomorrow night, I'm just going to wait and see.
I'd like to get to my 20 mpw goal, right now I'm at 10-ish miles. 20 is not a big number, but I'm not hitting it! Another way to look at it -- since last Saturday I've done 4+6+4+6+ = 20 miles. Guess it depends on where I draw the line for a one week period.
