Was I "hangin in there?" December 29, 2005
Posted by clayton in : workout , add a commentToday wasn't much of a good day at all until after the swim. My legs feel a bit tired but once I start riding, no pain…it just gets numb but today, I stopped and went home because my cyclocomputer (is that what you call it?) wasn't making any effort. Both my cadence and speed was at 0 so I took a guess, it's my sensor's batteries getting low. HA! I was right although I didn't feel like going out again so instead, I did some bike maintenance. Look at what I got!!!
A new cassette and a new chainring, for free!!! Not…I cleaned it:-) Isn't it shiny?
The swim: It was like a punch in the stomach…the coach wasn't there!!! So, he left a training menu for us but it was a lot to do in one hour. Looked at the bottom of the paper and it said 1:02, so he knows it's not gonna fit in one hour, hehe. Swam a total of 2700m and 1800m of it was intervals…the menu was designed for the fast guys so I really had absolutely NO time to rest. Well, the 1800m…I pretty much swam the whole time. It was suppose to be divided into 100m intervals but for me, it was more like a 1800m swim, I guess I was hangin in there? After I finished, the fast guys were laughing and said, "Man, did you rest at all?" Nope, hehe. I guess this is what happens when I slack off on swimming, it's my first one this week. Also had a tough time riding to the pool and back, 19.5km.
Tomorrow: The weather forecast says, "rain" which I won't be able to know the truth until tomorrow morning. If it's cloudy, I'm thinking of going for another long ride+short run, brick;-)
