Fish Issues May 20, 2005
Posted by vollenda in : General , trackbackOk, I did 1×800m in the pool on Wednesday night. Had to battle myself the whole time…"you did a hundred, just take a rest and do 8×100", then at 200 "take a rest and do 4×200". But I kept going…made a deal with myself to get to 400 and see how I feel, then to 600, and finally told myself at that point that I might as well do the whole 800. I don't know if I should have since my tri is so close…In training for the centuries, I never did a full 100 until race day. But 800m just doesn't seem like that much and I HAD to see if I could do it and what my time might be. Alas, I may be a Penquin running, but certainly not in the water! But I did it! And that calmed some of the jitters I've been having about the race. If only I were a fish…that would solve my fish issues too.
Yesterday I went for a run at sunrise. Legs felt good. Am wondering if my speed will improve since I have only been doing "trail" running the past couple of months (knee issues so I stopped all speed, hill work, and road running). How does "trail" running translate to "road" running? Today, is only the bike. Pretty good weekend planned though-regular Saturday workout-bike to the gym, swim, lift weights, bike home, run. I hope to do a brick on Sunday. Have a good weekend all!
