This isn't what I expected January 28, 2006
Posted by clayton in : workout , trackbackAfter school, I had a short 5km run and focused on form. Then, my right knee(some muscle right next to my knee) hurted and I had a hard time walking to the pool. Swam anyways and I think it got a bit better.
The run: I focused on widening my strides a little bit. I usually take small steps, especially on uphills but just thought I would need more muscles and power. My right leg started slacking out after just 4km and I was shocked, this is what I get for not running…I guess I'll just have to accept it and start again, atleast I wasn't panting. 1st lap: 9'32, 2nd lap: 10'00. Total of 19'33, not that bad after all but I obviously had a huge fall.
The swim: I went to the swimming pool, 5min early, hehe. I wonder if the coach wanted me to come 1hr early after what happened yesterday. 200m warm up, 50m*16 IM kick(2:00), 50m*16 IM pull(2:00, 1:15 for freestyle) and 100m*4 swim(kick, right hand&kick, left hand&kick, swim) I forgot the cycle. So that's 2200m. I really had a tough time butterflying at first but after the coach gave me a few advices, I was able to go 50m easier. You know what? it's actually the first time for me to swim butterfly 50m straight without stopping…So, I'd say I had a nice swim today.
Tomorrow: I couldn't pick which to go, a swim or the group ride that I'm not really sure if they'll do tomorrow. Since I can't go for a swim in the afternoon tomorrow, I picked to go to the pool in the morning. I have to take my run shorts too, seems like the swimmers are gonna run…it'll be a little embarrasing if I can't catch up, wouldn't it? But I'm a bit worried about my right leg…Well, it'l hold for 6km, I hope. Maybe a bike ride after that.
