This week has been very tough, I know it was an adaptation week but I felt I was not doing enough. Also has been different, I trained somewhere else with different types of exercises. And I had to take some decisions.
I started the week on Tuesday with a bike ride. Since the week was adaptation week I did not work very hard so everything was done at endurance level. Then in the afternoon I went for a run with a friend and I ended up swimming. During the swim I was not recovered from last Sunday’s swim. After the swim I went to get a massage to loosen up my muscles. We should‘ve spent more time on the back and arms, we spent nothing. After the massage I felt pretty good.
On Wednesday I swam in the morning and then in the afternoon I did my brick session. The bike felt easy and on the run I decided to go for it and I was fast. It was probably my fastest run. I did my regular 4.2km in 13minutes and 50 seconds which makes an average of 3mins17sex/km, just above 18km/h for nearly 15 minutes, that is fast to me.
On Thursday, I had to take the swim test. I did not like it much to take it so early because I did not feel I was ready enough to do so. Anyway I took it and I dropped some seconds although not enough for me, I wanted to be faster. I dropped 1.5 seconds from last test but I did not break the 90 seconds wall. Then in the afternoon I run with a friend again.
On Friday, I had a day off work and I decided to leave the house early because I needed to leave for the weekend. I ended up taking a little more time than I scheduled but in the end I made everything. I did a BRS but with only a T2. I biked for 3h at 30km/h, not too bad, and then I run pretty well. And after taking some time I went to the beach for some 26minutes swim. The water was a little rough but I only wanted to do something because I know I was going to be many days without swimming. Later that day we left towards lecina, at 810m height.
On Saturday, we walked down the river, it is an endurance sport. The walk took us nearly 6h. It was a lot of fun, I went with 9 more people and some of them were friends of mine, the other ones I did not know them. I suffered a little bit of cold because I decided to leave the jacket in the car but I made it to the end. After all it was a good and different training session and I had heaps of fun.
On Sunday, three of us decided to go running, I felt very good and I started to pace them out, the course was uphill all the time and on our way back it was only downhill, the run was very good and I felt strong and that I could go faster.
This week I had to take some decisions that will probably have effect in the future. Well one of them will have an immediate impact in my training and the other one will have an impact later in the year.
Seeing all this happiness around me makes me realize that I live a completely different life than everybody else. Sometimes I wished I had this different life but most of the time I want my life, I want to scarify for what I do and enjoy. I guess we all want what we don’t have and that is my problem right now. But I am happy the way I live my life even though I don’t get all the support that I would like to get.
Now it is time to refocus and not argue. I need to stay concentrated in what I do, work and train. There are moments where your test won’t show what you expect all I can do is to work harder to get my results where I want them.
