This was definitely a tough week. I was still feeling tiredness in my quads after the Sunday spin on Monday evening and when I woke on Tuesday morning. I was also mentally fatigued so when my little girl woke before I left the house and asked me not to go swimming it was an easy call! Wednesday and Friday workouts both in the pool and on the track were very hard. On Friday morning we did a hard speed session in the water and I was hoping we would be doing a nice tempo run that evening but the coach had a Fartlek session in mind. I never did Fartlek before and I had never done 2 sessions in one day until last week and now I was about to do two speed sessions in one day….probably not to be recommended! I managed fine but was pretty wrecked by the end of it. I rested Saturday (well if you call resting swimming with the kids and lugging them about the city!). Sunday I felt pretty good and was looking forward to my cycle with Predator Triathlon Club. Apart from a minor tumble after trying to cross railway tracks near Craughwell and having to push it to catch the group. My legs were burning from the hard week so I had to turn for home and only managed about 38k. Taper next week in the pool at least so my legs will get some rest!
