It's Tuesday and things around here are finally back to normal after a few wild weeks with Hawaii camp and TPE camps! Training is back to normal, too, and it's been great to be back on a consistent path and making forward progress.
Had a great strength workout and run on Sunday after we wrapped things up with the TPE athletes. Spent some time on the Vasa with some accompanying swim specific strength exercises, then took a couple of hours to rest before a 30 minute training pace run by White Rock. The run felt pretty good considering the strength training just a couple of hours before - legs felt light and only took one or two walk breaks to correct technique.
Yesterday I spent an hour on the bike, again just training pace, which is hard to do sometimes when I'm feeling good and wanting to go fast! But I reined it in because I know Coach has a plan for the week and I want my hard workouts the next few days to be very high quality, not less than my best because I couldn't rein it in at the beginning of the week. This is always a little challenging as an athlete, even though I'm a coach and I know the importance of sticking to the plan. At the end of the day, I do triathlon because I like to go FAST!
Got to spend two hours working with my SMU Mustangs at run and swim practice yesterday, and it was great to see those guys and girls after their winter break. Some of them have definitely been putting in the hours over their vacation, and I'm excited to see how they perform this semester. I've got a great group over there.
Coming up next... swim practice! The only choice is whether I go endless pool or lap pool... hmmm... decisions, decisions...
