Subject: RE: 10.8.15 Thursday Training Thanks Kim! It was pretty cool! Don't know if it will every happen again so I'm enjoying the feeling! I put my write up in the race report section of BT if you want to have a read. Remember - I'm not a writer . Have a great trip tomorrow!
5:15am - 60 min power spin. Hamstring still tight and annoying me so took some of the harder efforts a bit easier.
8:45am - 3800yd swim
So my coach had on the plan to do 38x100.
Ummm no.
The last time I tried a workout that was 18x100 I about had a mental breakdown at the 12th one. Maybe that's the point, but it was so miserable that the thought of doing double that wasn't exactly positive.
I bagged that idea and found a similar workout for the same week in my Ironfit book. Gave me the same amount of yardage but my mental state was intact when I finished. I'm considering that a win! My swim is at the point where I don't think I'm gaining anything by pushing intervals that I can't hit (which frustrates me and tends to ruin my mood for the rest of the day ), so I'm happy just getting the distance in and whatever happens in the race - so be it. May not be the best attitude, but I have to find a middle ground where I'm not pissed off all the time because my workouts suck.
Now waiting for my massage lady to get here - need to get my hamstring working right again so hoping it will help!
