The past few days have been great. Training has been awesome and really excited for my upcoming races!
Tuesday was back to the run. I headed to Bell School Line and did a 15min warm up into 30 sec sprints up a 10% grade. It was just enough to make you bum hurt!! The I did a 15min cool down. Bobby Rose came out for the hurt fest! He did great!
Wednesday was insane. So First I headed to Rattlesnake Golf and Country Club for a round of golf! I was on feeling great and my swing was looking awesome! After a solid round it was time to work. The weather was hot, which I like, so I decided to do my ride on the trainer. Yes the weather was warm but for strong repeats and a TT it is a lot more consistent. I did 10x2min around 500 watts then did a 30 min TT holidng 280 watts! Feeling good!
Off the bike Shannon, Nate, Jen and I headed to the track for a brisk 10 x 1km haha.
The goal for me was to drop the first 4 repeats under 3:30. 1)3:21 2)3:23 3)3:25 4) 3:22.
Next was a 3km repeat, which didn't go too hot. I wanted to smash it and took the first mile out a bit too hard and came in just over 5:30..lets just say the wheels came off and I threw up! I regrouped and did another mile, this time being a bit more consistent and running a 5:45 mile..haha
Now came the fun part. 3 more 1km repeats. This hurt a lot. My goal was to get under 6min miles...the way my legs were feeling made it tough. I was trying to stick 43-44 per 200m and did so every repeats! 8) 3:40 9) 3:39 10)3:41
Done!
Today was a rest day with a Master's swim. It was a great set, which broke me down like every other swim!!!
Also I can't believe MJ died today. 50 years old and had cardiac arrest.
