On Friday, Karel and I went out for our long ride. I was shocked how strong I felt and how much my glutes were working! If only I could carry this over to running right now! I enjoyed my time with Karel as it had been several week since we went on a long ride together. We thought we selected a more flat route (well, nothing is flat here in Greenville) where the miles would go by quicker. Although we did average 19.1 mph (which is super speedy for us here on our Gville roads), we still managed to collect over 5000 feet of elevation in 4.5 hours.
The swimming yards are accumulating and I find myself spending a lot of time in the water. Not complaining though as the pool is my happy place.
Weekly training stats 8/19-8/25
Total training hours: 19:55
Swim distance: 20,000 yrds (4:39)
Bike duration: 11:31
Run duration (treadmill running + water jogging): 2:45
Strength: 1:00 (not including PT work)
In addition to training, I spent all of last week finalizing my manuscript for my third book. I'm so relieved to put that behind me as writing two books over the course of 6 months required a lot of mental energy from me. But I'm super excited for my followers to read my third book. Hint: If you like, love or are interested in triathlon, I think you'll love my 3rd book.
Oh and lastly, we have two new additions to our furry family! More on this later but for now, a little bit of cuteness.
