8th week to Frankfurt

This week was supposed to be an easy week but it turned out to be a hard week but it is not physically hard, it has been mentally hard. At this moment Frankfurt is in jeopardy and I am really worried. I will try to start training again tomorrow but I am not very confident.

On Monday I started on the bike as normal with a swim in the afternoon. Easy sessions for both sports, during the swim I felt fairly good but during the bike I might have started to feel something that was not good but I did not pay too much attention.

On Tuesday I had scheduled a medical checkup in the morning and a run in the afternoon. They took a blood sample of me and surprisingly I started to not feel extremely good during the run, my quads were getting tired too easily but I was running at a good pace and it was ok to keep it like that. I was not feeling any discomfort form the day before.

On Wednesday, I should have done a bike test but because my power meter was broken it did not have much interest and I decided to just keep it at a just above normal. In the afternoon I decided to do my normal swim test, it went great, faster than ever, although I was not feeling perfect but the discomfort was not bad.

On Thursday I had a bike session in the morning that it must have been a little harder than it was supposed to be but it was for a short period of time but nothing that I was not doing the week before. In the afternoon everything changed. I had a 45minutes run with running skills work and then it was when I started to feel that something was wrong but it was not too bad to stop. The problems came after the shower.

On Friday it was impossible for me to train, the discomfort became pain and I had to call a physiotherapist to treat me as soon as possible. According to him I don’t have much to worry about and that after the treatment I would be able to ride on Saturday.

Far from expected I was not feeling good enough to go for a bike ride on Saturday. And I am still not feeling good but I will test it tomorrow.

Over the weekend I tried my best to rest and behave although there have been some promises that I had to keep against my will.

I wish that my pain goes away soon with other problems that I currently have. I need to be able to train and to be focused in what I have to do.
