Training Week 5/2 - 5/8

5-2 Sunday I survived the 75 miles in a wind tunnel with hills :),

5-3 Monday turned into a rest day. I woke up at 3 am and was still tired so I listen to my body and slept in til 6:30 am and choose to not train today, just take it easy.

5-4 Tuesday it was back at it. my day started with a 5:45 am swim. Tuesday is always a test set day this week it was 6 x 100 in 3 min. I did pretty good the first 4 was 1:57 but the hast two were 2:04. I have to look at this good after a tough ride on Sunday. Tuesday night I went on the Tribe run, I ran 4.47
miles in 1:09 which brings my ave down a bit

5-5 Wednesday was a volume swim at 5:45 am I swam 5 x 400 with a 20 second rest between each set. my focus on these sets were to count my strokes and keep them under a 23 count. I was able to do this for the first 3 set, the 4Th set I was 1 stroke over and the last set was uncontrollable. the counts were 24s and 25s. I have to work on that.

5-6 Thursday this is supose to be a rest day but seeing that I took Monday off I went for a afterwork run, I was able to run 4:04 miles in 1:09 but this time i did not stop as much. I need to go to bed but im not tired but tomorrow holds another day of work and training for me" must sleep"

5-7 Friday to day was a easy bike ride with the Julie B and Big John. we rode 23 miles through awhatukee. I did not want to do a lot of climbing because Im doing the South Mountain Time Trial tomorrow morning... Julie has gotten strong on her bike, she kept up at 16 mph on the flats and was able to climb 17 ave and 5th ave at 7 mph. not bad for being 5 month on her bike.

5-8 Saturday I signed uo for the South Mt Time Trial all thought I wasnt ready mentaly, and I did finish it but not as good as I should of. It was a great training ride.. well thats how Im looking at it

I did not weight train this week trying no to burn my legs out.

Lesson learned this week, If the mind and body isnt in it dont do It.
