[REST DAY]

Wow, its been 10 days since my last Rest Day (3/10), so I guess its about time.  Its funny, the need for a Rest Day always show-up first in my swims (yesterday's off-the-charts RPE was a good indicator).  

Also weird is I feel like Rest Day's a sort of micro-vacation--no waking up at 5:00am, no training commitment at lunch, etc.  Its funny, my body loved the extra 90-minutes sleep this morning, but is still sort of jonesing for a workout today; but I'll practice a little discipline and be content to do nothing today.

RPE= HIGH-to-OFF THE CHARTS

Swim today was brutal. I wanted to seriously call it the day after 250m--coming up with excuses in my mind like "I trained hard all weekend", "I had no Rest Day yesterday", etc.

But, despite the mental & physical desire to quit, I stuck it out. I pretended I was on the back half of some long-course swim--with no choice but to stick it out.

Some days, its the slowest and "crappiest feeling" workouts that you're the most proud of. Today was one of those days.

09:50/65-70F/Sunny & Clear: Rode with Tommy W. who suggested a little "climbing today".

TOTAL FEET CLIMBED: approx. 2,300 (per my Nike Lance 4 Alti watch)

Forgot my HRM, so no numbers there. I was out of the saddle quite a bit, though!

Sport
  • Commuter Cycling
  • 10m

Something I learned today about my bike handling skills: I suck at descents. I mean, climbing them almost seems easier for me than descending them. Climbing is physically harder, yes, but descending challenges one courage, and confidence in the bike/road adhesion.

Any and all descending tips gladly accepted!
