I concluded last week with this thought, "recovery week" will be breeze. It was, in a way, because I had my wonderful sister Gabby in town.
Swim Recap: 700 -750 yards, give or take, I should have the yards down by now but I keep mixing up drills :). I was moved from lane one to the next :)! Coach saw improvement, yay!
Run: It was a 30 minute run in the morning with three "Pull Ups" (shoot it was only suppose to be 20 minutes as I review my schedule! See what I'm saying with the work outs? In case, you're wondering, "Pull Ups" mean you run almost as fast as you can but not completely. My sister Gabby left me in the dust!
We had our "reward" that night as we enjoyed our beach camping and smores in the wonderul Olympic Peninsula, WA (see pic below). Although you can't see the water through the trees, we were able to listen to the ocean waves and smell its sweet scent.
Cycle: Our plan was to rent bikes and explore Victoria, British Columbia on bike but unfortunately we missed the bike ride because they were closing in 15 minutes. Instead we explored Victoria by foot and used the two and a half (2 1/2) hour walk as a substitute for days exercise.
Cycle: I rode for 30 minutes after our volunteer time at the half Marathon in Helvetia and Cannon Beach and ran the next day at Blue Lake our second volunteering day for a Triathlon. My wonderful little sis Vanessa and her sweet husband Junior, and Gabby were real troopers in volunteering to help me raise funds towards my fundraiser this weekend! Thank you Gabby, Vane and Juno!
Run: Ran for 30 minutes on Sunday and 30 minutes yesterday along with strengthening. I must admit I was glad there weren't any pull ups involved (zaps your energy)! Again, Gabby way ahead of me in speed! I kept pretty consistent in "Zone 2" though. Thanks for being a trooper and enduring training with me!
Cycle and Swim: I rode for 35 minutes and had swimming practice tonight. It was a productive day overall. I swam 750-800 yards today. I need to practice reading drills, work on hand form and breathing. It's pretty funny when you think you're doing something right and it is completely wrong! Thank God for Coaches and their patience!
