last week before I train somewhere else

the lasts two weeks I have been training at home and in platja d'aro.
I have done another brick session and the almost 7km that I run after the bike I was faster than what I expected (4mins9sec/km).
I have been running a lot, the winter is coming and I won't be running as much although I will be swimming and hopefully I can buy the bike that I want, although I won't be able to use it until next year.
the sunday before the last one I run from tennis d'aro to sta cristina and back (9,8km) and I raced it in 36mins 42sec (3mins 43sec/km) that was fast for me and I was extremely happy for that, hehe.
I already have a new goal, although it is too hard and it is against my training so I am not sure I can try it, we'll see it, hehe

www.mapmytri.com

Last week was a nightmare for me, I did not workout the 1st 2 days and then I started to workout again. I had stopped for 3 or 4 days, my diet wasn't good and even though I was faster than when I used to live in BCN I felt very slow. After 4 month without going to Montjuïc the hill became hard. Although now I'm back into track.
Last Friday I tried my 1st brick training ever and that was the real nightmare. I did 26km bike in 1h15mins, 3mins transition and 24km run in 2h with water shortage that's why I could not finish the last 2km, I had lost more than 3,5kg from my initial weight and I had drunk roughly 1,3l, so I had lost almost 5l of fluids, that was dangerous. I ate, I slept a few hours and I was ok again, so I decided to have my regular run Saturday and Sunday.
Saturday's run was much slower than the regular pace but Sunday's was pretty good.
I have received some bad news and maybe my priorities will need to change, although we will see once I move to Germany again, my exams were not as successful as I expected.
by the way, www.mapmytri.com is a great tool to stay on top of the workout.

awful training week

this week I have been awful at training, my mind is somewhere else, somewhere not pleasant, hehe.
I haven't had a good work out and when I have had it it has been meaningless.
I hope I can start training well in about two days, where I'll have finished some of this stress.
I'll try to go to a bike shop on Thursday to get some info, yuhuuuu!!!!!!!
