I guess I had a good weekend January 31, 2006
Posted by clayton in : workout , trackbackI wasn't able to blog because I couldn't access to my blog for 2days and I don't know why. So here's what I did.
Saturday: I woke up at 5:30am in the morning and went for a swim around 7am. Got to the pool at 7:25am and ran 3km for warm up(15min) and then swam. Did a total of 3800m, all I remember is that it was some medley practice. Went to a party kinda thing at night and met some friends.
Sunday: The group ride!!! But only four people(me included) came due to bad weather and other reasons. I rode to the park in the rain hoping that some people will come and I got lucky. Had a 20km run(2hrs) and a 60km bike ride(2hrs+20km to the park and back, 40min) One thing I learned is that I'm a slow runner/biker. Especially after going to the pool every day, I haven't been on the bike that often. After all that, I went to watch the race which happened to be at the swimming pool in the park. Walked around watching until 5:30pm or so and biked home.
Today: I cleaned my bike and went to the pool. 200m warm up and I got out of the pool. Why? I wasn't able to focus on swimming, kept on thinking about how slow I was yesterday and just ran out of motivation. Though, I told my coach that I had a back ache. Told the other coach the truth though. He asked me, "Feeling sick?" and I answered, "No, just can't focus on swimming." He had a weird look on his face and I'm not suprised because that is a weird reason. Just needed the time to think of how to swim, bike, run and study every day. 15days till the exam so I need to get my priorities straight, study first. The training will come after that. I decided to use my trainer and run short distances on weekdays. Have the outdoor rides/long runs on the weekends.
Tomorrow: Now, I won't say I'll start on the trainer tomorrow because I don't really know the best way to use it. It'll be a test ride, possibly in the morning but most likely after school for, maybe about 30min and then some Japanese History. After that, I'll have to swim my butt off just to cover up what I didn't do today. I wonder if my coach is disappointed because I'm gonna swim relay with 3other guys in May. Well, it's not really my decision…Since these two swimmers are gonna come to the same high school I go to, there's gonna be 3people in the swimming club and ofcourse they need 4people to participate in the relay and I'm the only guy left who knows how to swim. Other than this one guy in 10th grade who only swims once a week with the grown ups. Now, he really looks old, in fact, the first time I saw him, I thought he was in his 40s. And to be honest, I know I could beat him, hehe. So, I don't have any other decision than to participate with the 3swimmers(they're all the top few fast swimmers on island, yikes!!!).
