Wow week 9 is over.... I can't believe it! When we start week 10 on Tuesday we are half way "crazy" This week was a great week for training minus one swim on Friday night but over all very good.
Our sessions on the bike, swim, and runs are now getting longer and some fast Vo2 max work so I sleep well at night too... We have these 5 minute hill climbs to do on the bike which we do on our trainer because it really feels more like a good workout. Plus try to find a hill around here that goes on for 5 minutes at a hard pace hmmmmmm "not" Hey and there is less traffic in the basement he he..
The track work is pretty intense but do able. Now our biggest challenge is trying to figure out which workout to do early in the morning and which to do after work because there is just not enough time for both and it's pretty hard on the body to fit both in after work. We don't seem to have enough time in the morning's to get a full swim workout in so we have tried running in the morning instead and Ivan and I seem to like that the best and then swim at night. We will figure it out. I can't wait for warmer weather and lighter days so we can swim in the lake and have more day light which is improving every day.
My biggest news is about today.. I know I am stuck on my swimming but today I did my longest swim ever of 2500 meters all free style! and I have chaffing under my arms to prove it! lol... Oh I also road for 2:50 on Saturday which was 75.36 kms and I averaged 27 km all the way even with the head winds all the way back. I am very proud of my accomplishments this week and hope week 10 is just as good.
I am also looking forward to our sprint on April the 20th which isn't to far away.
Until next week.....

LOL!!...Where do you come up with these cute cartoons? Anyway, I think the run in morning is a good idea Trigal and should work for you. It will get easier with earlier morning light also. I hear you about the lake! Come on heat and sunshine and congrats on your new continuous swim length.
