Back into the swing....
Training has officialy begun again with everyone appart from Dr Drake, Coco and myelf nice and fresh from 4 weeks off.
I was prepared for a spanking first week back and i was right. We had a 1km swim TT which didn't bother me because i felt that my swimming with Suzette had been going well. I didn't get a Pb but it was only 15secs or so off.
I had a 5km running race in Freo on Sunday where i won and ran a Pb which was great because the course was pretty undulating and I know that i can go faster than that becasue there were no other girls around so i didn't push it. The rest of the day i just slept and went out for dinner with friends.
Monday swim was great, has to be the easiest swim session Grant had ever given us! Great recovery session. In The afternoon we did a 12km run along the City to Surf route.
Tuesday morining i did a 40km group ride followed by track in the afternoon where we did 8x800m as 400m max 400m mod. I found it hard and was feeling sick by about the last 2 repeats.
Wednesday morining swim was hard and long. We swam 5km and the main set was 12X100m coming i at 1:10 - 1:15. I was so drained afterward but still headed out for Stockbrokers ride which is around 65km, as usual i red lined for about 90mins until i got dropped and had to ride the remainder on my own into headwind! :(
Thursday morning i dont know how i managed to get out of bed.... i was so sore from the day before... and to make matters worse i turned up to the 6am track session only to find we had to do 9x1km at your 5km pace! I definatley lost my sence of humor that morning! :)
Then we hopped into the pool for a recovery swim which was great. All day my legs ached... the same painful ache you get after a race!! In the afternoon we had an easy spin on the Windtrainer whilst we sorted out or goals for ther season.
Friday morning was supposed to be a hard swim but i slept through my alarm! I was so mad at myslef when i woke up..... i hate it when i unintentionally miss a session.... now i have been feeling guilty all day!
Tomorrow we have the 36km TT in the Hills and it is going to kill me... literally......so maybe it's a good thing that i had today off.
