Wednesday

So how do I feel? Well, I'm in pain today. I got up early for an hour long swim. I worked the hardest I have in the pool in a long time. I'm mixing in some extra swim workouts just to keep my confidence that I can start races with a good swim. The weight work and run from yesterday didn't kick in until midday. Got home and got out for my hour long ride and now I'm sore as all hell. I rode some hills and also mixed in some good hill repeats on a new steep climb I recently found. Now I'm paying for it, but it's a good pain.

I went extra heavy on the weights this week and after today's ride, I'm sore as hell. It's good since I'm damaging the muscles. The weeks not over and it's only going to get worse but then I give the muscles a chance to regroup with a nice taper before Timberman.

Summary:

Swim: 1 hour

3,000+ meters

Ride: 1:15

Avg HR: 147
