So far so good this week with the training. Took Monday and Tuesday off as planned and got in a good ride Wednesday morning, wasn’t even that hot for the first 1/2 of the ride! We added a second hill loop to what we’ve been riding lately. here’s the ride elevation graph:
The hills aren’t very long, but it’s a close to home ride that I like! Thursday morning I relaxed at the house before work while watching the first High Mountain stage in the Tour de France. It’s been an interesting tour so far with some unfortunate crashes. I can’t imagine how much it must suck to get taken out in the first week in the TdF from a huge crash that is impossible to avoid. The guys below had a right to be the most upset!
Thursday Run/Swim
I was able to skate out between lunch and dinner and get to the gym, this makes the long days so much better. Got in 30 minutes on the much hated treadmill, starting to incorporate that into the regimen. Some of the treadmills at Lifetime have a option to download your run to a flash drive, I’ll have to check this out and see if there’s any useful info I can get out of this. I have to admit I love the amount of info that is easily accessible from a workout nowadays. Between my Garmin and things like this it pretty cool what you get! After the run got in a 1000 meters in the indoor pool, just too hot after running to swim outside. My swim didn’t end up being that fast but I felt like was trying to dig in pretty good, definitely felt the effort later at work.
Friday
Did some shoulder – leg extension – core work. Might get in a swim later if I’m lucky!
Final Thought:
This Ostrich freaking rips!
