After the two week vacation from training I thought I'd take it easy during my first week back. To do so I ran and swam short distances every other day without paying too much attention to pace. During the workouts my legs felt great. However I didn't open it up knowing full well what punishment awaited me next week in the form of a 16 mile run. I didn't want to over do a thing and risk hitting a big week injured. To close off the solid week I put in an easy 12 miler, if there is such a thing.
I was pleased with the week's efforts and put another 30 miles running and 7100 yards swimming in the books. All of it in 6 1/2 hours. Although I maintained an easy pace for each run I consistently dropped 30 seconds off my normal pace without feeling it. It seems the break was just what I needed to re-energize the legs.
During this past week I finally spent some time fitting my new TT bike. And I'm excited to announce that Week 7 will include some long overdue biking on the fluid trainer. The training should give me a good chance to catch up on my Tivo'd Mythbusters.
