40 min weight room working on legs.
I figured I'd post this up as a journal as I'm hoping to balance stuff out. Also looking to work on the Hard Week/ Easy Week schedule.
For the record, my Wednesday and Friday bike my legs were shot at about 45 minutes. I didn’t have my bike computer so I don’t know if this was incredibly lame or if I was just going way too hard.
The Friday Swim wasn’t all that great either.
The Saturday run was our original hills loop. We did really well on the gradual hill. After our warmup, Lap one was 7:20 min/mile. 2-4 was 7:00-7:04 min/mile. Lap 5 was 7:10 I think.
Then we moved to just sprinting the steep hill. I was amazed at how dead my legs were. Walking would have been faster for me. I still think my pace was 8:00 tho.
Sunday’s swim was good. We did a set 4x50. First one breathe every 3, 2nd every 5, 3rd every 7, 4th every 9.
I did 3s and 5s and was fine with that. When I was doing the every 5 my hipflexors were screaming for me to breathe. What the heck is that about?? I figured my lungs would be buggin or something. Well this made the list as something I need to do more often.
This week will be an easier week. The fact that I broke our bike trainer and have to wait for a part will definitely help keep me stick with this plan.

Guess our abs workout last evening wasn't noteworthy enough to make your post of weekly workouts. I will be sure to make the next time memorable. I see an hour abs workout in your future mister. Get ready!
(insert whipping noise) . . . Matt is in trouble, Matt is in trouble.
Sucks to be YOU, dude!
Super Dad, you are like Puff Daddy, changing your name every month. What's up with that? Haven't you settled on an identity yet?
You guys have no idea... The scary part is she's running on very little sleep and is like this!
At least she didn't claim I was sabotaging her workouts by breaking the bike trainer.
Just making sure you have accurate notes in your journal for future reference. wink-wink ;-)

OK. I see where this is going, full disclosure.
I should have written this for Sunday
My Swim workout with Maija and Esther: I was beaten at every set we did other than the Pull Buoy set. They were nice and didn't make fun of me when I cheated on the breathe every 7 or 9, by not doing those.
Or the fact it took me 3x as long to finish the kick set. Maybe I'm being Generous saying 3x...
Then at about 8PM Genine was back from work running on about 4 hours of sleep tells me it's time to do Abs. She is nice enough to let me do lower abs first as that is my weakness. Then we did planks and side planks as well. All of which I caved before she did.
I suppose I could have suggested we do pull-ups after abs, just to regain some ego. Yet I know it's only a matter of time that she passes me there as well.
What can I do. I workout with some really tough women!!
So you were sabotaging her workouts by breaking the trainer, and she was too nice to mention this. Man, you are asking for a whooping!
I think I will go to CSquared after this and stick with that.
The bike trainer "breaking" all seemed so innocent. Maybe if I'm lucky the "new part" for the trainer that's arriving on Wednesday is a new tacx....maybe?? hhmmm????
And might I say in your defense, Matt, that you are a man among men. Most male egos would be shattered from all the girl power, but not you. A round of applause!! Your races this season will be a walk in the park after all of this training.
