This week, just prior to going on vacation to Michigan (more on that in the next training recap post), is typically not a good one for training/exercise for a couple of reasons.
1) Packing always takes precedence because we're packing up our life seemingly
2) We leave early on Friday and then drive all day Friday and Saturday to arrive at our destination so usually both of those days are also lost
I'm still in the "honeymoon" phase of feeling completely healthy for the first time in a while (i.e. really excited to put in the work) and I'm still a bit behind from where I should be in training for my Half Ironman, so what did I do? The morning we began our trip (which involves driving by myself for about 12 hours), I decided to get up early and go for a quick swim at the gym. I knew without this, I would lose two days of training and also figured it would get the blood flowing prior to sitting in a car all day. I have to say that I felt good about this commitment and I also I felt quite awake the whole drive! Good choice me! :-)
Totals for the week (which included a Sunday ride in Michigan):
Swim: 2300m (52 min)
Bike: 42.8mi (2hr 30min)
Run: 4.4 mi (41min, 10sec) (kind of a sad running week where I only got one run in)
Still not very close to where I need to be, but inching closer and feeling good!
