...otherwise known as "recovery." LOL.
Actually the week did not get off to an auspicious start. After a great week of light training the previous week with a Mini-Tri PR (1:20:22), my first sub-8 or sub 7:45 mile since my running injury two years ago, and a great "long" (36 miles) bike that had me zooming, I was primed to finally go sub-1:20 at the last Mini-Tri of the year on Monday.
Unfortunately, I woke up feeling like CRAP. COMPLETE crap. ZERO energy, the chills, body aches, etc. I packed my bag anyway in the hopes I would feel better by the end of the day, but no luck. It was especially frustrating since the weather was perfect. A lot of people DID set PRs. GRRRRR.
Tuesday, which was supposed to be a swim, was more of the same. Of course, the fact that it was cold and rainy didn't exactly make me want to hit the lake.
Wednesday I finally got back into training and I've hit everything else. Not a great week except for yesterday's bike, which was 40 miles in 2:25, or a 16.5 MPH average. SWEET! I'm actually kind of SCARED that I could go sub-3:30 on the bike on Sunday.
So yes, sidelined by my second illness since Ironman, but it's all part of the recovery process.
Up next: A week of light workouts followed by taking care of Unfinished Business at the Vermont Half on Sunday. Woohoo!
