If You Never Tri, You'll Never Know!

Accountability: 5 weeks

Monday, Aug 24:
I didn't have an ideal distance to hit in the pool today as this week is somewhat of a recovery week. I decided on 7 x 500's though and see what happens. From the beginning I felt awful. It seemed that I was swimming through hot molded jell-o. Ugh!! I managed about 2,200m before the Navy Seals jumped in the water and created wake. I was having trouble enough just myself so I called it. 2,200 meters is 1.37 miles ~still well within bragging rights ;)
Spent the afternoon with Amanda working on Cultivation Nation Tri details and the evening with Run-N-Tri and friends for Monday night Fun Run. My favorite part about that, I got to work with a bunch of my Team TOA Elite runners in my princess shoes.

Antibiotic shot day!! Last Tuesday of every month I get my shot in the butt. You know, so I don't die!
I wonder what people think in the hospital when I come strutting through in a full Zoot pink triathlon kit !? Hitting 2.5 hours on the bike after...
2.5 successful hours on the bike + 20minute brick run!!
The bike was one of those, big deep breath and enjoy the beauty of the countryside.

Met up with an athlete for some bike fun. Ran out of time for my own bike so headed to RNT for a day at the shop. After work I hit the pavement for a good strong 45 minute run. I incorporated some sprint intervals and ended with 5 miles.

It's really a good thing this is a lighter week because I have been BUSY! I managed a 3,500 meter swim on base first thing this morning and then headed to Fairhope to see Katie and Joseph at Pro Cycle and Tri. I was feeling a little pinch in my neck and wanted a tweak on the bike. Can't wait to try her out!!

Up early for a 2 hour run. Amanda met me on base and we knocked out 1:15. I finished the last 45 solo and then worked hard getting ready for Cultivation Nation Tri tomorrow (hosting it, not racing it!!)...

Had a great open water swim with 2 miles even. I was nervous about open water (like usual) but we had two kayakers in the water and I never had any anxiety. Followed that up with a 1 hour fast bike with a few teammates and orange sherbet mimosas.


This was a lighter week and I can't say I'm sad about it! I ended up being so busy with the tri, I don't know how any longer workouts could have been attained. Next week is gonna hurt; and I'm excited!!
