week 10 in review

153

The base phase has ended.

This week has not been very good, neither training nor mentally.

It has rained all week, I have run 4 times and all under the rain. Yesterday I could not even go for the long ride outside. Very disappointing. I had to ride 3hours on the trainer (5mins seat up at L2 and 91rpm then 5mins aero at L2 and 91rpm, then 2mins30secs stand up at L3 at 78rpm and finally 2mins30secs aero at L1 and 94rpm) .

Today I had to run for 90mins, it was a pretty fast and fun run but my feet were wet and I got a blister because of that, too much water on the ground, and old socks, bad combination. I was fresher than expected, yesterday I probably did not push as hard as other days, it is hard to push indoors and for 3 hours.

My swim is a limiter right now and the coach doesn't know how to help me. Apparently I swim like a snake, wavering my body. She is thinking about it and we have improved a little bit by breathing bilaterally but it is not enough.

I am thinking about racing this weekend a half marathon but I am not sure. I am not training for it and definitely I won't taper for it. The pros to race are that I need racing experience and it is about the distance that I am supposed to run on Sunday. The cons it is at 8am and they are expecting 10000+ people, too many. I have until Friday to think about it.

What is going on now?I don't know what has happened but whatever.

I am getting tired of all this shit. too much shit all over the place and still have one month, will I survive?

Waiting for some news that will change my life.
