Today was an epic day of training. It started out with Deb and Anne in the gym kicking butt! They did a hard full body workout and smashed it. After that Heather attacked and threw down another solid workout! Next was my turn.
Right now, all I can think about is St.Croix and smashing it this year. After a flat it put me out of the race, all though I finished it wasn't my best performance. I am feeling strong on the hills and was ready to put the speed to work!
Workout 1: 15 min warm up then a 45 min tempo run sub 6 min miles. 15min cool down with some pick ups. I started out on the treadmill and within 3 minutes I ended up running down Lakeshore. I was feeling good and got into it. My main focus on this run was to hurt or drop! I started off feeling good and it only got better. I ran down Lakeshore, which is constantly rolling hills. After all said and done I polished 10 miles easy!
Interlude: I booked an appointment with Patti Campbell (RMT on Lakeshore), she was great and broke me. As she put it flushed out the system! After that I got home went grocery shopping then I had an epsom salt bath.
Workout 2: Aerobic Ride, 2 hours rolling hills. Ride Strong. I was feeling really good and had some good tunes to get me into the groove. The weather was finally co-operating so it made it easy to be out there for 2 hours. There was some serious wind out there..haha
Workout 3: 4000m swim: The main set was 30 x 100 and let me tell you after a big workout day swimming is tough! I felt really good with the paddles on every 2nd 100m and really focused on a strong stroke on the odd 100.
After that got home and into the tent I went. Took it high last night and slept at 10 000 ft! Sleep high Train low!
