Week 11

YO! This was a weird week.  I hit my first road block (not literally...well almost), but hit multiple records with biking. I am at a hiatus with running, which sucks big time.  Old problem came back (I'm not entirely sure what caused it but think it's a combo of using old minimal shoes once and i need new Kinvara's). It's gonna be ok. Maybe. Call me maybe? I workout. 

But anyways, here's the week.

Mon 7/9: TRX. I was sore, so I stretched and did some random TRX things.  end of story.

Tues 7/10: 65 min bike (trainer....16 miles), 3 mile run (24 min). Made the mistake of running in minimal shoes. but honestly I don't think that could have JUST tightened up my left side THAT MUCH. ok, I am done with caps. :P

Wed 7/11: TRX, 6.5 mile bike (transportation...hell i count this...31 min), 4500 yard swim. I went to swim practice wow! Except I am really stupid and didn't realize it was IM/Stroke day.  First of all, I swim freestyle.  I swim backstroke to cool down and pull on the lane lines. I do not do butterfly and my hips sort of can do breastroke kick now.  Well, I did the most butterfly i have done in prob 5 years (in one practice). I eventually had to slack and swim free bc I didn't want to rip my shoulders quite yet.  Plus I jumped into an empty lane which shortly filled with college swimmers.  They even asked me to go in front. HAHAHAHAHA. silly college swimmers. I survived.

Thurs 7/12: 5.7 mile run (48 min), TRX.  This run sucked. It was ballsy hot out, I had no water, and I stopped often bc I thought I was going to pass out (ok not really but I definitely hurt). I cut the run short.  Turns out I was down 3 pounds...talk about dehydration. I killed my hip on this run....I can't tell you how awesome my IT band is feeling right about now....haha. 

Fri 7/13: OFF. I got a massage. holla atcha 

Sat 7/14: 83 mile bike (5 hours), 3 mile run (26 min), TRX. RECORD! wooohoo! I rode up to NH border...quite literally JUST the border and came back (after stopping in a gas station to buy water). This felt great, actually.  The 3 mile run actually felt good also....good indication of proper nutrition on the bike.  Hip felt tight though, but easily powered through. 

                                                        Crossing borders, bitches. 

Sun 7/15: 27 mile bike (1 hour 45 min), TRX. After I woke up limping all over the place I decided to skip the 2 hour run (ouch) and just go for an "easy" ride. It was harder than I anticipated...I was soreeeeeeeeeeeeee. 

WEEKLY totals! 

4500 yard swim, 12.7 mile run (1 hour 33 min) (blah),  132.5 mile bike (8 hours 21 min) RECORD!!!!!, TRX x5 I TRXed a lot, but a few of those are just a lot of stretching. I don't do hardcore workouts all the time with that thing.  So I'm basically not as hardcore as i make myself out to be. So basically, a recovery week is well needed.  I am currently on my 2nd day of being off to try to get this stupid hip thing back. I think I need to fall off my bike again to put my back and hips into place. You think i am joking but actually it might help...hahaha. I leave you with a cute monkey and dog. Have a nice day.
