What with my mother dying, subsequently having to deal with her estate, and then having my grandfather diagnosed with cancer, it’s been a tough couple of months for me. Mentally, physically, emotionally… triathlon and the Tour de France can only take you so far. I need a day off. I’m finally taking one tomorrow.
I can’t wait. I feel wrecked. I really do.
The nice thing about the day off tomorrow is that the kids still have vacation bible school, and my wife still has her things to do, so I’ll actually have honest-to-God time to myself tomorrow. Rarity! With tomorrow’s stage being a relatively minor one—for a high mountains stage—my plan is to take another shot at doing that brick I planned for last week.
I’m was planning to swim tonight, maybe 2400 yards or so, but now I think I'm gonna bag it and go later in the weekend. Tomorrow I'm gonna do another brick workout. No intervals tomorrow. I just want to do a long, steady-state ride with a single climb before coming back to throw on my shoes and knock out about three miles on tired legs. Besides needing the running work off the bike, I also need to test out my new speed laces and just do some real distance work. After that, I’m planning for Saturday to be a rest day--maybe I'll do my swim workout some time Saturday morning--and to then take a long run on Sunday. Then next week is a Rest Week leading into the Ocean Beach 19.7 triathlon next weekend. I’d like to do well there, but it’s expected to be HOT!
Anybody got any plans this weekend? Hell, is anybody even still reading this thing?
