Well, the weekend has been crazy as usual, but it's been productive, too, so no complaints!
Spent Saturday leading a bike workout with my Team Playtri Elite athletes (and helping two athletes pick up new clipless pedals and shoes - always an exciting transition!), and then spent the second half of the day looking at new apartments for our May time move to north Dallas. When the new facility opens in McKinney, I'll be back and forth quite a bit between the two centers, so we need a more central location. We found some really nice apartments and townhomes near some great cycling routes.
Had two great workouts today - Masters swim was challenging but fun, and I felt really good about our first set, eight 100y's on 1:50. Did them at about 1:30-1:35 and didn't feel too worn out. That was a nice marker for the May race, 750m which I want to do at at least 1:35/100m. We had another longish pull set, always a good reminder of the upper body strength I DON'T have just yet, and wrapped up with some moderately fast 50's.
Most importantly, my rotator cuff didn't bother me at all, so I was really glad I made the call to cut my Thursday swim short when it started to hurt.
After a couple hours rest I got on the trainer for a W1 bike (1 minute pickups at LT), which went pretty well, especially since I remembered to calibrate my power meter first. I forgot this essential step during my Friday bike workout, and I paid big time. My adductor muscles on the left leg have been a little tweaky, so I checked with Mo, and now have a new exercise for my strength routine to address the issue. I love working with so many experts - no problem we can't solve!
Read helped me with a long stretch session after the bike, and now it's time to finish writing training schedules for my athletes for next week. Great day.
