I started off the week of tri training super strong and feeling great, but unfortunately all good things must come to an end and I came down with what I think is food poisoning in the middle of the night Wednesday and was down for the count for 2 days. This, unfortunately, killed the rest of my workout week, but I'm holding my head high and moving on. I've been getting a bit discouraged because my stomach has had so many problems during this training cycle.
Monday: Holiday=day off: spin/swim
Laney, Gabby and I headed to clubsport bright and early to get in a morning spin session. My legs felt great and we practiced some form drills which I feel I need. Then we headed to the pool where we got a short set in and headed home
Tuesday: Tempo run
My schedule read 3x2@Marathon pace. I figured I was tired of the cold weather and would get my miles in on the treadmill with .5 incline. I warmed up a mile (usually I do 2) and then I started my 2 mile intervals: 8:12, 8:07, 8:07, 8:00, 7:55. I had to skip one since I told Laney I would make it to Lululemon to run. I decided to punch it a bit at Lulu and get 4 in so 8:25, 7:53, 8:37, 7:59.
11 miles total, Yay!
Wednesday: Spin and strengthen
Nick wanted to try out the new spin bikes at my gym since they have power meters and luckily it was another class to work on my form called road cycle. I pushed it as hard as I could and then went upstairs to do arms, hip abductors, abs, and spend a bit of time on the stairmaster.
Thursday: Forced Rest
I planned on swimming and doing my track session, but my body had other plans for me. Instead I logged in some major couch time praying I would feel better tomorrow.
Friday: Forced Rest/Rest
I pretty much had planned to rest, but I was in no shape to do anything anyway.
Saturday: Spin
I planned to ride outdoors with a friend, but after being so sick I figured I was better off sitting on the bike indoors, plus the weather was not looking too good. I had hoped to sit through back to back classes but I had nothing in me so I showered and headed home.
Sunday: Waterfront 10 miler
I had planned on doing this as a fitness test when I signed up for it, but after being sick there wasn't going to be much fitness about it so I planned to take it easy. I pushed myself a bit, but my legs felt awful from the beginning. I feel like this was good mental training for the marathon and I didn't do as bad of a time as I thought I would and I averaged 8:09. Then I headed to my sister's for a shower and breakfast.
Next Event: Napa Marathon
6 weeks down 6 to go! Yay!
