Top of the Key

Tuesday is complete.  I had a tough time waking up this morning, but knew I had to get in my swim early.  I did have a good swim.  1600 yards of drill/swim, mostly stroke drills and kick board.  I tried to focus on using the hip to drive the stroke, get that momentum going.  Will try it more tomorrow during my longer swim.  I’m going to skip Masters this week and see if that affects my swim on Friday.

I also had the Power Class tonight.  It was a great course.  I did over an hour, and about 12 miles of riding.  The fun part was the climbing and the last block of z3 work.  For that, we would spin at our normal pace for a minute, and with about 4-5 seconds left in that minute, just hammer the wattage to see how high we could get it.  I improved each time, peaking at 736…which was pretty big for me.  There is a 10k time trial at the end of the month which i’ll be doing.  it’s a hilly course, but i should do around 16 minutes, hopefully.
