Week three and some milestones to celebrate!
I didn't quit running!
I didn't quit swimming!
I don't hate riding!
Sunday:
We were in Mui Ne.... still high on life with Eirik's 2nd place finish. I rode by myself (as usual) and out the door at 6:30am. At times, nearly in tears with how proud I am with my kids. Eirik so grateful, Emily so supportive! Feeling pretty lucky! 70km, 460m climbing, not a good average speed, but had a headwind.
Monday: REST
Tuesday: Ran 10km!!! It took me 1:06 (terribly slow, but I did it!). I needed two walks, no more then 1 minute each. The heat was pretty intense.
Wednesday: Rode 55km - two NVL loops solo
Thursday: 30km w/ boys, 1350m swimming in the afternoon. 350m more then prior swim. All freestyle and no flippers.
Friday: 5km run
Saturday: 58km ride, 305m climbing, nearly 30kph average. Okay considering traffic. Speed in peloton was good. I did one bridge loop prior to meeting the boys, and two afterwards. Met Alex on the 2nd and he pushed me.... I didn't push on the way back.
Swim: 1.35km
Bike: 212kim
Run: 15km

I used do regular 3km run daily but it was more than 4 years ago. Right when I started getting into cycling.
I don't even seem to remember whether I've ever done a 5k. Used to think of 400m as an awfully long enough distance!
I think running is still very painful! I don't enjoy it, but always glad when I finish. And here, it seems to be safer and you can get a good workout....
Swimming on the other hand... I just need to NOT quit swimming!
Painful... hmmm maybe but it seems to stress (and thus train) one's cardio-vascular abilities much more easily.
Mentally painful, not physically! ha ha...not to mention... B O R I N G!
