Got up at 530 and headed to the gym for a swim. Got the swim in, got to work, and had a big day at work.
Did the run postwork. Ran out at Story Hill (thats the big hill we rode). There is usually a couple of good trails. The cows have taken over though and couldn't find the trail at times. Finally after stepping ankle deep into some soft mud found the road and went back down. Felt like the run was maybe not super focused, but I kept trying to keep moving. Still had some time so ran over by the dump and finished off running a bit faster.
I felt really good for a hilly run last week. Kept the pace up etc. This week not feeling as good. My legs were tired. Like dusk runs though. Get to see deer etc.
Wednesday
Went home a little early and got the hour ride in. Rode the trainer. Am having a hard time getting outside in bad weather. Did the 20 minutes effort. Sweated a lot. Did n't have the cross bike ready to ride yet.
Master's swim
Got in 3k.Barely though. Was dragging though the whole swim. There were only 4 of us there though. Not super motivating.
Thursday
Got home and waited for my mechanic to get the cross bike ready and then went with him on the ride. I hope this was supposed to be easy because it wasn't very directed. Erik got a flat so waited for that etc.
Went on a run after getting home. Run felt good. It got late. I was still running when other people were going to bed. I couldn't decide how I felt about that. The sky was beautiful that night though. Bright moon and those two planets have been fun to watch.
Friday
Went and did the swim at lunch. Nothing fancy. Busted it out.
Sat.
Race
Got the bike out. Hadn't ridden it much so was shifting it pretty hard just to make sure everything was okay. Ughh. Wouldn't shift down when in the big ring. Lubed up the shifter and Erik gave me a tutorial on flicking it. Still wasn't really working. Got shot off the back of the pack during a couple of big surges very early in the race. Not super happy with the bike.
Lindsy had gotten a little ahead of me but Erik and Matthew (he was being an awesome teammate. worked me back up to her. The race was hard at this point. I don't think I could have kept going at that pace for the whole time. Maybe though, it is annoying to not know. Anyway, that's were my seat post bolt failed and my seat kind of collapsed on me. Anyway, you know the rest.
Sun.
Tired this am.
Got my butt to the pool. Did the workout. I must have been slow though. I timed the fast 100. Same speed at 1000. That isn't really what I would call "FAST"
Did the run. Wasn't sure if I would fill the hilly criteria, but think it was pretty good. Ran on the farm roads from Kalispell back to Erik's brothers house. Found some good dirt. Actually reminded me of riding the day before.
Monday
What is today.?
I was sort of leaning against the Roubaix, but now want to go. Want to have a good race. Saturday left a bad image in my brain. I think I am going to try for a drive over and back on one day. Also, Sunday is Easter and demanding on family time. I guess we are already going to brunch at Erik's Moms. She gets all hurt if you want to leave to exercise.
Wednesday from 6:30-8:30pm is a public comment period on the possible new pool. I have some thoughts brewing about that and other things and want to go.
Tuesday my sister's new fiance's Dad is in town. She wants us to meet him. I think this doesn't have to be dinner though. It can be later. I hope. This week is busy.
Can we talk about May. My trip to Boston.
Tuesday is a big work day.
I am needy this week, aren't I?
