Ok well a bit of a lapse in posts. What can I say it happens. Last week wasn't a great week for training, I got a few runs in, a swim… but didn't get on my bike at all. It happens I guess - weather, and a super busy schedule will do that. I managed to get in a nice 90 min trail run with Kim on Sunday - so that was a positive. Oh and my new nutrition stuff came. I'm going with a company called Infinit they do custom blends for people depending on needs and body type etc. I took it with me on my 90 min run on Sunday, and actually quite enjoyed it. Granted it wasn't a super long workout, but still felt like I had energy the whole time and never felt like I really needed to eat or take on calories as I was taking a drink every 15-20min or so. Of court that will be strategy on the bike as well, so I'm actually really looking forward to testing it out on my next ride! I'm also going to use it for the ride to conquer cancer which is coming up this weekend. The good news is that means 200+ km of riding which is awesome for training :) The 130k ride i did a few weeks ago has boosted my confidence heading into the RTCC as well as Mt Tremblant 70.3 which is only a few weeks away! EEEK - it's crazy how fast time is going. I'm excited about riding again with my friends and supporting a fantastic cause this weekend though so that is the big focus for this week.
As for today I got up and went to the pool as it was raining when I woke up so I opted out of hitting the quarry for my first open water swim of the year. I did the workout my coach had put into my plan which was 2,500m. Felt ok, little slow. It's really tough, at least for me, to swim by myself. Without my swim buddies to motivate me I find it hard to get amped up for the workout. Just a short run planned for later today. Not sure yet when I'll go out and get it done, but kinda glad it's nothing big and daunting today. Because I didn't get called in for a supply teaching job today, I figured I would have to take advantage and go to the pool to swim, and now I think a nap before hitting the road for a run.
Always nice when you can have a nap :)
