Week 12
This week my hubby was out of town. He usually helps a bunch with the kids while I work-out, so I didn't get a lot of training done without him. I could have.....but I just didn't. Like I said last week, I am worried that I am beginning to get burned out (or very bored) and I am trying not to let that get to me. I DID get to do my very first practice in open water swim!!!! That made me feel so much better!! And got me excited to actually DO a triathlon instead of just training for one!!!!
Schedule
Monday: rested
Tuesday: rested (no swim)
Wednesday: biked for an hour and ran 1 mile
Thursday: spin class! (no swim)
Friday: rested
Saturday: biked for 1 hour and 45 minutes, then ran 2 miles
Sunday: rested after my OPEN WATER SWIM PRACTICE!!!!!
On the open water swim.....I swam the course for my very first (sprint) triathlon coming up next week! I swam the 550 meters in 13:30!!!! I got very excited and overwhelmed during the first few minutes, which made my heart rate rise and made me not breathe well. I finally got myself together and kept going the rest of the way wonderfully!!! I haven't practiced sighting, so that was a bit difficult. I pretty much just stopped and would tread water for a few seconds after every 3-4 strokes so I could see which way I was swimming. I am so glad I decided to wake my big butt up and do it!!!!!
