I worried a little that I wasn't feeling bad enough, after listening to friends complain, but if my body wants to combat fatigue with stupidity instead of with failing to meet exercise goals, I guess that's what I'm stuck with.
Mini-goal assessment
- Focus on nutrition, really this time - At least the eating was more controlled than the previous 3 weeks, but it was not easy to control food-wants when tired, so I know I caved in to some unnecessary eating.
- Do at least 2 2.4 mile straight swims - Un-success. I had good yardage at the 90 minute swim practices, but only did 1 long straight swim, and that probably came in around 2 miles (forgot Garmin, see stupid taper brain above)
- Finish packing checklists - Success! Thank goodness I worked on this. I am packing bags and car tonight and tomorrow and am so thankful for these lists that I have been putting together.
Review of last three weeks
- 1 Monday bootcamp
- 1 Weds bootcamp
- Swam
- at 6 90 minute swim practices
- 1 time at the outdoor 50m pool
- 1 time at a warm lake, in full wetsuit. Great practice in staying steady to avoid overheating.
- Ran
- 3 Monday night run lead
- 3 track practices
- 6 mi at long run - should have been 16
- 12 mi long run on "light weekend"
- 6 mi long run on last weekend
- Biked
- 3 flat workouts
- 1 hills workout - got the 5x hill
- 44 Skyline miles
- 50 mi on "light weekend" - complete with bike "fall down"
- 30 mi on the trainer on last weekend
- 14 assorted commute miles
Goals for race
- Swim relaxed
- Stay in Z2 for the bike
- Stay focused on the run
- Cheer for others
- Experience the day
Race day is next Sunday. I'll be printing out the athlete guide, the TeamZ Cheer Guide, my race plan, and stashing them together in a binder, and hopefully, that plus all this training, will get me through the day!
