I guess my recovery week is over ...

Another tough week at work and a recovery week on the schedule. Had a great swim on Thursday: did a solid intensity set: 25, 25, 50, 10, 200, 300, 200, 100

Today was a biggie: I swam at 8:00 with a new group of people organized by Koert Winkel. Koert is a great guy that I met while I was training for IM Wisconsin in 2005.

After the swim, I headed home, had a nice big mug of spiced tea and headed to the bike. 60 minutes at 215W, no fan. I was sweating like a pig, but wanted to feel the heat that I would feel in Arizona.

The run was a tough one, 2 hours and 20 minutes. I did it ... with a few breaks ...

Today I tried ... unsuccessfully to take in a little bit less on the calories. Not a good idea. Perhaps at a different point in the training cycle, but right now my body is used to the constant influx of carbs. Gotta love that sugar.

All in all a good week. Got most of my workouts done. I am really happy about the 215W ride today. It was hard but not to the point of me wanting it to end NOW.
