last week's goals:
- 4 swims including 1 OWS: did 5 swims including an OWS. i needed a swim focus week anyway, so this was good!
- 2 core workouts: i did 1 really, really good one. also did a really thorough stretch in the whirlpool after my swim friday (15mins of working everything out), so i'll count this as semi-fail.
- 4-5 rides, even if short: also semi-fail. if i count the trip to AND the trip home from the pool on friday as separate rides, i got in 4 total. only 1 of said rides was on my TT bike (others were MTB and tanker's CX bike), and that was under 10mins just to test out the handling of the race wheels i'm using on saturday. i think for the entire week i put in about 1 solid workout's worth of cycling..
- keep up running consistency: win. even though it took leaving for an hour's run at 11.15pm on saturday night when i *really* didn't want to.
this week:
- get workouts done early and get some good sleep, and maintain my taper strategy (short but vigorous)
- get experience with crosswinds running deep front wheel and disc rear (did this last night, with some climbing)
- get new shoes broken in for saturday (did this monday evening with a swim-run brick)
- don't get hit by lightning on tonight's run
- have everything packed up and ready to go thursday evening so we can leave right when we get home friday
- don't spend TOO much time setting up or chatting when we camp friday night in a friend's backyard (10mins from race site, saving us a 1.5hr drive from home); the idea is to get good sleep!
- have fun and race well on saturday, then whoop it up around the campfire with friends on saturday night!
cheers!
