Went swimming on Monday morning. It wasn't the greatest swim I've had. Only did about 1500 and I was up close to 2400 when I was swimming at the other pool. I've been having issues with my stroke. Last week I was holding my head up high - which may have been a function of swimming at an outdoor pool with the sun etc. Monday I worked on keeping my head down and leading with my shoulder, but it was one of those workouts where it was an effort to just complete the workout. Frustrating, but was glad that I did it. The coach wasn't there either -so it wa easier to "cheat". I was having issues getting through sets of 100 without stopping for breath etc.
This mornig I went for a 15.x mile ride. Did it in about an hour. I was frustrated b/c I couldn't get aboe 10 mph. Then I realized that it was windy! At one point, I was going down hill, pedaling as though I was climbing, and was only at 13 mph... Felt good after the ride - when I was going the right direction with the wind I got up to 35mph.
Rylie had track this afternoon so I ran for about 30 minutes. Did about 2.25 miles. Just ran more to keep the body moving. It was pretty hot and decided not to push it too much. I've got swimming tomorrow and the tri club track / bike workout tomorrow afternoon.
I need to work on my nutrition a bit. I've been struggling with the workouts the last week or so and I think I'm not properly fueled. I've been just feeling draggy as I workout. I'm going to try and eat a little something before swimming and then will eat real breakfast afterwards. Just need to get some more protien or something.
Caitlyn - I know you're struggling right now. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help.
Love you!
