Make Up...and strange swimming.

Well today was suppose to be the rest day for the week. Since I opted to go to bed than to ride last night after swimming I needed to get my 90 minute ride in today. I opted to watch Miri and Zach Make a Porno while I rode so the time went fast but was kicking myself that I didn't suck it up and get it in when I was suppose too.

This week overall has just been off, not sure what the deal is but for some reason just don't feel like I can get in the groove. I always look at the next weeks training plan as a fresh start so looking forward to getting this set over with. Maybe after a nice dinner tonight and a relaxing evening things will pick up this weekend.

Last night at masters was completely opposite of Monday night. We have different coaches on different nights and the workouts are usually completely opposite. One coach prefers a lot of sets on the interval, almost all free. The other coach is more into the drill, kicking and different strokes. This does not work well for me, I am a one trick pony I like freestyle and have no desire to do anything else and I also prefer to breathe on the right only. I tried the bilateral thing and not for me. This does not mean that all of that is bad, just means I suck at bi-lateral breathing, long kicking sets, head up drills and medleys. I prefer one stroke and breathing one sided. Probably just because I suck at all the rest.

So the quick wrap up is I was taxed after swimming and had no desire to bike, was wiped physically and mentally. Opted for a recoverite shake, reading some runners world and going to bed. Feel a little refreshed today so hopefully I will have a little something in the tank for tomorrows computrainer class. If it is anything like last week it is going to hurt a little.

dude...class today hurt a lot! A lot more than I expected. It's tough to stay at threshold for that long unless I know I only have to do it for 20 minutes.
