Ironman Training - Day 84
Written by admin on December 25, 2006 – 11:15 am -Sunday:
Swim: 500 yds; Run: 9 miles; Bike: 29 miles
Started off getting to the pool to swim a few yards. I knew that with Monday a holiday, it would be 3 days between swims. And I like the feel of the water at least to be every other day. So I swam light and easy, just to stay loose.
Started the run with an aching back, and knowing that it was icy out. The sun was shining, so that helped. And i found a nice stretch where the ice was minimal. However, during my z4 work, I slipped and fell. I quickly got back up and not much hurt, which was lucky. Finished the run with a strain in my left calf. Need to monitor that as the week progresses.
Took in some nutrition to recover before getting on the bike. When I was riding, my heart rate was really high. It didn’t take long to get into my zones…so I kept it sort of high. Felt like a really, really long ride though. I usually average aboutg 14 mph in z2, but today it was more like 12-12.5mph. I might have been a little dehydrated or tired. But I finished it and now I’ll have tomorrow off.
