This was a down week for me... maybe I can think of it as a recovery week! I did work hard the previous week.
Mon: swim 1 mile, bike 10
Tue: rest
Wed: 5 tml
Thur: nothing
Fri: nothing
Sat: bike 24.5 then run 6
I figured since I was on fresh legs I'd get this whole block in. It was good. I tried to focus on keeping my speed up w/ the bike. Sometimes during my ride I settle into the easier level, I tried to keep it at a faster pace for much of it. The wind was really pushing into me on the way home. I felt it!
I grabbed my fuel belt and a gu, then took off on my run. I need to practice this transition. It takes me a minute to get my gloves off. The first couple of miles not only were my feet numbish, my legs were too! It is such an odd feeling. Look at these first 2 miles! Apparently I go fast when I can't feel my legs!
I felt fueled, around 3 I started to feel my legs again to settle into the run. I kept a good pace and hope I can stay around this for race day. Now I just need to add 30 minutes for my swim.
I need to get out and swim in the open water and try out my new wet suit. Got that at a garage sale for $15. I don't know if it fits, but it will work!
