Week Recap

Well it's Friday, only two more days left of training and I thought I would give you a bit of a recap.

Monday - first day back. I approached this day with an optimistic outlook, probably too ambitious. I didn’t realise how much the past month would take out of me, I learnt very quickly. Monday morning all I did was a 2km swim. Was going to ride to the pool but it was raining.

5 x 400 free 1 on 5.30, 2 on 5:15, 2 on 5:00. I held all at around 5min pace (1.15 per 100) and the last two made by around 5 seconds. Then I called it a day so to speak. My head was still drowsy from sickness so I didn’t want to push myself to much.

The afternoon I rode, with intentions of riding back home around a 30km round trip. I started the afternoon with a run, 11.5km was very excited, but took it easy knowing of my past knee injuries. Was going great until 8km, small pain in the knee so I walked the rest.

Tuesday - Another swim season 4km mixed pace work. The plan for Busselton is 1.15pace 3.8km swim, which will easily put me at the front, if not first. SO it’s pretty much just about making that as easy as possible, as I can already do that pace. Saw the physio in the afternoon about my knee. I lack the strength to support the flexibility in my knee; therefore I'm always having issues. A week off with strength exercises before I can try it again.

Wednesday - 1hour swim, followed by 1hour wind trainer set. Just testing the legs out, hitting them hard on the trainer so when I pop I'm not hours from home.

Thursday - morning did 2 hours of glute work, dear god is my butt sore! Afternoon ride/swim. 50km ride 3km swim 1.20pace cycling.

Friday - Was suppose to be my 90km ride, was raining so did 2hour wind trainer set.

That is the week thus far. Been fairly good, going to be slow to get back into things. Hopefully the rain is gone tomorrow and I can do a 120k on the road. Will let you know!
