Posted by clayton in : workout , add a commentI got my application form today, YES!!! Now I get the feeling that I'm really gonna race. It used to feel like someday later but not anymore, I've gotta train hard, train smart to make this one mine. It starts today, I biked 40km and swam….?
I rode 40km to get my application form and it felt good, back on the road again. I haven't been riding much but I averaged about 30kph, I don't think I've ever averaged this speed…Although I was stuck in a traffic jam for a while, don't count that… I saw some Americans walking in the store, how long has it been since I've heard natives speak English? Ummm…wait a minute, 1day, I just heard one of the teachers at my school speak English. I can't remember where she came from, it's either New Zealand or Canada, big difference, eh? hehe…The other teacher was from Canada, wait, no, he was from New Zealand and this teacher was from Canada…I don't know…Anyway, I had a nice ride.
Today's swim: So I went to the swimming pool thinking that I'm gonna have to swim with the 6th graders again, who are pretty damn fast but nope, I guess not…I swam with the "big" ones today. They swam about 3700m? I'm not sure, I heard the coach saying something before the swim and I know it had a 3 in it, short memory loss because of all the drowning/ trying not to drown etc…hehe. So that means I swam about 3400m because I rested one 200m and two 50m. Wait, I swam 5600m in two days…That's a little over 1/4 the distance I swam in November!!! No wonder my shoulders feel heavy. The tough part of today was that I was expecting 1hr30min in the pool which was 2hrs…What!?!? okay, I'll get back to drowning…cough cough…
Tomorrow: I get a break from swimming. Thinking of doing either a LSD ride or run and then rest for Monday, another swim…yikes!!!
