- No, you cannot skip sunblock for that one hour lunch time run, even if the temperature is pleasant.
- Bra straps on sunburn suck.
- I need a new mantra – getting out of bed has been a struggle this week.
- Swim Test – 1000 yds in 25:15 2:32/100yd average
- This was so so. I took it easy because I was worried about being able to finish the distance and it was my first swim with kicking after a few weeks of just pull buoy to rest my foot. (Did I mention I hurt my foot?)
- FYI Rachel – yes, you can swim 1000 yds (dumbass) and if you go out too fast you know how to back off and recover while still swimming. Next time, a bit harder, eh?
- My foot is well enough for light kicking in the pool – yay!
- no kick sets and some buoy work still going on.
- Bonus: Next Tri is a wetsuit race.
- Run Test – 6 minutes – avg 8:03/mile
- Pretty good! I was feeling crap and didn’t want to do it but I did it anyway. My mood and perceived energy level don’t seem to actually effect my athletic performance that much.
- Based on treadmill runs that was RPE 9 for .75 miles.
- On reflection, I’m quite pleased with that test. It felt like death and I wanted to stop but I like the result, so there.
