week 3 in review

It's been a pretty good training week. My volume has gone to 8h + 2h of strength training (it is the 2nd week of strength training). The runs has been pretty good, although I start to feel the volume again, the times have gone up slightly, but I am still being able to do the regular run under the 1h.

I have started a swim course on Thursdays and I get my ass kicked badly, hehe. People there are much better swimmers than me, but I don't have any other references on how they run or ride. But I had a very hard time, specially when the coach asked me to bilateral breath, I am used to breath only on one side, every 2 strokes and now I've been asked to breath every 3rd and that is very hard for me. I have Tuesdays to practice a little bit. And I am so glad I had been swimming before the program so I just could join this course, otherwise it would have been to hard for me.

The bike is getting better, I can stay on the bike for longer time without suffering as much as I used to do. I enjoy the 110+ rpm more than I did the 1st week and my long ride would had been very good if it wasn't for the rain, hehe. I was 40mins in to the ride and it started to rain as hell. I was completely soaked.

Overall I am pretty happy with the training so far.

I have also learned this week that all my gastrointestinal problems might be caused to dehydration. I thought I was drinking enough but it looks like I didn't drink enough. I am learning about nutrition with the book eating for endurance. Also i have learned that south america is very dangerous, do I want to live there?may be

Also this week barcelona lost the semifinals of the champions league to inter of milan and I am very sad about it, but we are getting closer to the league championship.

as of her, I think things are getting a little better, but she seems to be cautious and I am madly in love. I went to a spanish meet up and I missed her. I miss her a lot. I hope she misses me as well. But we had some good calls and I am happy for that. Let's see how it goes.
