April 11

My mid lower back region is killing me today, going to the chiro later this am to get it adjusted.  I felt my sciatic yesterday too and did the Inversion table for 5 minutes which helped a lot.  Woke-up in the middle of the night sleeping on my stomach, a no-no for me so I'm sure that didn't help.

Snap-crackle-pop done, now the healing begins!

Swim
  • 35m 58s
  • 1150.00 yards
  • 03m 07s /100 yards

Swam at the Y pool, had to wait a bit for some Master swimmers to finish up then did 10x100's using buoy to work on form. Finished up with 6x25's.

OK, this week is focus week.  I'm getting mentally prep'd for the race, printed out my check list and getting things ready.  Have to be all set by Friday as Saturday we're heading up to UF early to watch the Spring Orange vs Blue spring practice wrap up game and it will be a long day I'm sure.

Bike

Rode Windover Farms-Lake Washington area and back. Nice stiff NW Wind so really worked the head wind stretches and cruised the tail winds. Practiced nutrition aspects, actually had to much water to drink, need to be aware of this during the race.

I feel good today!  I think the massive amounts of allergens we had in the air the past week plus a bit of overreaching was my problem.  It was for my son and he's doesn't have a "bad" problem for allergies like my daughter does.  We had some unexpected amounts of rain yesterday/last night and the air was cleaned and today I feel a lot better and the glands are feeling ok.  I will run later today, ride tomorrow and swim on Sunday and take it easy next week, it's going to be below norm cool the next 4 days or so, perfect easy training weather! Laughing

If I don't get to talk with anyone today (busy day) have a happy Easter!
