Week 15, Day 99: Today was a long day. I had to go into work this morning and I am normally off. I knew I was tired and need sleep when I slept through my alarm and was late for work. Since I was late for work my day was even more crazy with training to fit everything in. The most important thing though is that I got in all my training! I had an amazing leg workout, which I am sure I will be feeling tomorrow. I also got my swim in! I didn't get the distance in that I wanted to, but I was talking with coach Larry a lot and he was really working with me today. My stroke is still looking good, but just made a few minor changes and also worked on my speed. Even though I didn't get the distance in it was still a good swim workout based on all I learned. Let's just hope I can keep it up so I can get my speed fast for the race.
Day 100: WOW, 100 days into training and only 81 days to go!!! Crazy, I can't believe how close it is. I am getting more and more excited everyday. Today I also finalized a few things for the race as well, and it is all starting to come together. Today I went to Podium Multi Sports and bought myself a new saddle for my bike! I also got a lot of questions answered that I wasn't sure about. They are so amazing there and always want the best for you!!!! Thanks Allen! Slowly all my questions are getting answered and it's all coming together. I also should be getting my new Garmin watch any day now. I can't wait to start playing with it and really start to dig deep into my training. Before going to Podium I was wheels down today at 6:30 am for a good speed workout on the bike. I was really feeling it today though since my legs were sore from my leg workout last night. Besides my legs feeling tired, I felt good and had a really good 2 mile run after the speed work. I know I have said this before, but my legs are really feeling good on the runs I am doing after riding. I remember when I first started to do bricks I thought I was going to die and never get through it. Now it is like nothing and I just cruise. I also got in a good upper body workout as well. I still am feeling tired already, but I just have to keep pushing through. Since all my distances are increasing now I just have to stick with and keep pushing and soon I am hoping I won't keep feeling this tired.
Day 101: When I woke up this morning it was raining so I decided not to drive up to Cartersville. Of course I made the wrong decision. After about an hour it stopped raining and I could have gotten my training in. I was going to try to head to the pool, but when I get started in cleaning some of the house I lost track of time and then it was to late. I was disappointed in myself because I stayed on track so well last week and was hoping to keep it going.
Day 102: When another day that I did nothing and tomorrow may be the same. I know this weekend though is going to be a good training weekend. I am doing another century on Saturday and then on Sunday I am doing a 5k swim!!!!! I did get my new garmin watch in the mail today!!!! I got it all working except for I need to go get the cadence sensor put on tomorrow. Thanks to my awesome husband he helped me get it all put together and I can't wait to use it this weekend.
Day 103: Today once again I didn't get any training in, but I did head over to Podium and had them put on my cadence sensor!!! Now I know my cadence =) Other then that I didn't do much. I just got everything ready for my 2nd century!!!!
