Hey! Im still swimming mostly and with the awful weather I skipped my Tuesday and Thursday morning workouts this week. But Im borrowing a trainer from Seth so ive gotten to jump back on the bike this weekend! Here goes the breakdown:
Friday
1400m
500: 8.34
300: 100 free, 100 breast, 100 back
300: 6 50s alternating free and back
300: 200 free, 100IM
The IM felt pretty awesome, and the butterfly especially since I do it once in a blue moon.
Sunday
Worked out
legs and arm work out
road the stationary bike for 45 min watched the Big Air competition for a bit and the Aussie Open finals. Started with an interval workout and finished with a rolling workout alternating difficulty levels, felt good to sweat again finally.
Monday
1300m
500: 8.31
300: 6 50s alternating free and back
300: 100 free, 100 breast, 100 back
200: 200 free
Thursday
1300m
500: 8.32
300m: 4:75s, back, breast, free, bastardized im
500: 8.34
Big break after a couple of ice/snow days, but I totally felt "on" today.
Friday
1400m
500: 8.30
300: 4:75s, back, breast, free, bastardized im
300: 6 50s alternating free and back
300: free 4min
felt a lot more sluggish than yesterday. but still good to be back in the water after two days off.
Saturday
Bike trainer workout. First time on a trainer, on loan from Seth. It's a magnetic trainer. Kind of noisy, but it felt great to be riding. Rode for about 45 minutes and my legs were feeling it.
Sunday
About to head downstairs and bike again...stay posted.
I first created this blog back in 2010 as I was training for my first triathlons and was wanting an outlet to track my progress and journal about the experience. Fast Forward, 5 years later and I am back at it again. This time around the posts may get a little deeper as I'm working through some stuff mentally and emotionally, but you're welcome to join me on this journey.
