Long weekend, poor swim.

Saturday I went for a 9 mile run with Jordan and a group of GRCers from the Georgetown store. Good run, we picked it up for the second half and finished with a really tough uphill. It felt like I was biking up Schaefer Road, with no more gears to switch to... nothing but searing quads and a pounding heart. Finished the day with a 2 hour trainer ride.

Sunday was a 4 hour training day. Started out the day with a three hour brick, 2:30 on the bike and :30 on the run. Biked indoors and ran outdoors. I'm feeling like I could up the intensity on the long rides, as I can bike longer and not feel as tired as before. No hip pain or quad fatigue. I'm getting stronger! I had an afternoon 4-mile run followed by a swim. I don't really ever swim in the afternoon, and the fatigue from my previous workouts caught up to me. I had variable 200s on the schedule but really labored through them. I stopped about 600 meters short as I didn't want to force myself and risk injury. I have a swim tomorrow and if I can't have a good workout today, I might as well recover and have a great workout tomorrow. I'm trying to be smarter about this whole multisport thing.

  1. You definitely are, Andy, all of your PRs are set in 2009. Just stay smart with recovery and all that, and you'll keep improving!
