Tuesday - March 6

Bike

1h 15m 21s
22.43 miles
17.86 Mi/hr

I wanted to go 2 hours on the CT to make up for some lost bike time, but after I reached the 1:15 mark, I realized that my coach was much smarter than I and that 2 hours on the trainer tonight would be the mental death of me. I aren't that smart to begin with...

Swim

1h 00m
3325.00 yards
01m 48s /100 yards

Nice easy/slow continuous swim alternating pull and free every 500.

Good swim. Ignored the prescribed swim and decided to do an hour continuous swim instead. ~~Computrainer ride later tonight.~~

Oh yeah...forgot to say...Lane is going to San Diego on Sunday for a week. Yeah baby!!! Looks like a run focus week with a few cold OW swims....but finally some good weather.

Sunday - March 4

Bike

2h 00m
34.44 miles
17.22 Mi/hr

Still no strength/endurance. Damn, this cold took more out of me than I thought. Not to mention that I have been off the bike for a couple of weeks, so sitting on the Computrainer for a couple of hours got old real quick too. Gonna try a constant build to be back at full speed by the next weekend.

Saturday - March 3

Run

45m
4.51 miles
09m 59s /Mi

OK, disregard everything written below. Right as I was headed out the door, I got a call and had to go help a friend, so that prevented me from getting in my long run and swim. I did do a short run once I got back home, which turns out to be a good sign as I have realized that I am not fully recovered from the cold. Stuffy head, sinus aches have returned and I have very little energy. Going to rest and hope for a better day tomorrow. Most likely going to move my long ride indoors to stay out of the cold/wind. Endurance pain session on the Computrainer tomorrow... :(

And I didn't even get my Moe's either! :( :(

Lazy morning so far, but that will change shortly. Got to get a shower then it is out the door for my 2:45 Z2 run then a recovery swim. I think I will add a Moe's refueling stop right in the middle of those two workouts! :)

I can finally breathe again! Had a good swim at lunch. Will post details once I get home. Big training weekend ahead. I need it, the cold has severely reduced my training volume the last week or so and I only have a few more large weeks to go before the taper. I need these long training weekends to go well. "Fingers crossed"
