We have decided to go on spring break. We are going to St. George next week. I think we will leave Sat. morning and come back the following Sat. I am sort of viewing this as training camp. I am very excited to get in some good outside riding. Questions about this.
Biking: Should I bring by TT bike and do that kind of riding, or would it be okay to mt bike or if possible (as far as space) bring both and do a little of each?
What else do you know about St. George. Swimming? Good road rides, good mt bike rides? Can you ride in Zion?
Wed- Leap day. Went to the pool in hopes of a fun workout. Kinda boring and only 5 of us there. Workout had 2 600s. Did one in my own lane and asked Katherine if I could chase her down so did one with her. 20 seconds faster with her.
Total meters- 3400
Thursday
Run at lunch- Felt good ankle is feeling much better. Still sore but doesn't hurt to kick in the pool anymore. Am trying to keep icing it.
Trainer Ride- Wow that was a doozy! I sure was huffin and puffin through that one. Good workout.
Friday
Ran at lunch. The wind had picked up and it was cold out. Went to the gym and ran on the treadmill. The 2x5 minutes felt good.
Swam after work. The pool was busy. At least 2 per lane. Did the workout. The paddles are definitely getting easier. Also, the breath every 3. Makes me feel like I am getting fitter.
Sat.
Ran in the morning and then had breakfast with Eriks family. Ran outside and had a giant St. Bernard run up to me. I had visions of it standing on my chest with me flat on my back. He stopped though and ran the other way.
It was cold and cloudy so we had trainer ride at my house again. Lawrence, Jamie, Art and I. This workout was a lot tougher than last week. I was definitley a lot more worked afterwards. Got it done though.
Sunday
Uggh. Drank too much wine with Heather and Marta last night. No drinking for the week. That is my new resolution.
Swam hard when I was swimming, but missed out a little on the warmup and so my distance was probably only around 2400. Did 6x150 (middle 50 non-free). The interval was on 1:45. Had to work hard on the non free to keep up. Also did a couple of 300's.
Went on a ride outside on my new cross bike. Went with Matthew and Erik. They worked me. I didn't pay much attention to the intervals. We had a pretty good headwind/cross wind for most of the ride and I was working pretty hard to keep up with them. Saw some really cool chickens and turkeys. The chickens got out of the coop and were all over the place at a farm and the turkeys were in the chicken coop. Then had a horse run along side us. He wanted to go with us. Did lots of dirt. Good ride. I was pretty pooped. Didn't make 3:30 though, only 3.
Definitely feeling pretty worked after this week. Excited about swimming. Feel like I can get in some good distance before I feel very worked.
