So far it has been easy to get back into consistent training but this week I only did weight training once. I have a feeling that I am going to struggle all season with getting my weight training days in. It must have to do with my mindset when I do such thing. I did not have a problem with the cardio. Running felt good, nothing hurt and my time was decent. Swimming was a little arrhythmic but since I haven’t been swimming consistently I expected it to take longer to find my zone. Biking has been going extremely well. I feel that soon I will be able to challenge myself more… maybe a spinning class?
The training was scheduled for 6 days of the week but I only did 5. I lost half a pound and I struggled a little during the weekend with healthy food choices.
I really need a new swimming suit and new running shoes. I hope to get those in the next two weeks so that swimming is a little more enjoyable when I am not worried about my swimming suit falling off.
I am glad to have a very supportive network of friends this year. I think that this will be my best year yet (as long as I keep training consistently) and a great part of it is the accountability factor. When everyone is expecting me to go to the gym then I can’t talk myself into not going. A couple of days I was too sore and I felt like I was getting sick but a couple people keep me going. I am thankful for these people in my life. We just started but I know that this season will really test our dedication for the sport and for a healthier lifestyle.
I look forward to week 3. The last week of base training. I am not working too hard on endurance since base training’s main goal is to build a strong aerobic base to handle the training sessions ahead. I think that I’ve accomplished that goal and next will be increasing intensity to build strength and endurance.
Olympic tri… here we go.
