View albumHe's gone 'The Distance'. Now what..?
August 10
August 9
- 37m 45s
- 6.50 kms
- 05m 48s /KM
Very slow run - hot and humid. Drank 1 bottle of Powerade.
Legs still feel little tired from the Sat 20k, but getting better. I feel like I am getting weaker(!) gradually - maybe it's just perception, maybe it comes from lack of motivation, maybe I started the training too early and peaked some time ago - I don't know, the fact is - I am getting weaker and I'll either work on it, find some lost motivation or start another program, or - just leave it and concentrate on work instead (which seems like a good idea, since the balance is somewhat lost...). Or maybe it's just too hot and humid!
August 8

I felt really week today, like comming down with a flu. So the swim was really slow.
- 1h 00m
Usual weights.
Not my best morning - one of those days when I'd rather stay in bed and do nothing all day.
August 7
Day off - trainingwise. Had to work physically in this heat (92degF) doing indoor painting to finish one house, man, did I sweat or what. Will be continued tomorrow, but I am planning to do the gym trip also as usual on Wed.

Nothing to comment about, just hot and humid...The ride felt actually good after yesterday's 20k run, tried to keep the rpm high, drank 1 bottle of Powerade. Experimented with Clif bar before the ride and found it tasting good, but too sweet.

Longest LSD to date! The way back was painful. Walked a bit: first - after 1hr, then every 10 - 15 min. Drank 4 bottles of water, Ate 2 GU gels.

Processing your request, please wait...
This was done on spinner - 3min 90-100rpm/2min hills. Usual.
Treadmill - tried to maintain steady pace. Did 2% elevation first, but later went back to 0%. I don't know what is more realistic...
Swim was first for a change, not last.
This was an indoor sprint tri simulation at the gym. The total time was 1:32:00 including the T1 and T2.
Nutrition: 1 piece of bread w/ cheese and coffee after getting up. Drank some water too. Had 2 fig newtons before the swim. Ate 2 fig newtons before the bike and drank 1 Gatorade during the ride. Ate 2 fig newtons before the run and filled the bottle with water. Drank a bit of water during the run. Ate 2 fig newtons after the run and drank some water. THIS WAS A GOOD PLAN - I didn't feel too tired and later on I went to work and did some yard work!
