You know what? It’s still stupidly hot. I do not love this.
Monday – Easy 45 minute trainer ride to keep the legs loose.
Tuesday – Swim workout. This one was tough because I was just feeling sluggish, but once I got through the drills and to the main set, I was committed to finishing. At this point, a lot of training is mental.
Wednesday – Structured trainer workout followed by a 3 mile run. These trainer workouts always kick my ass, but I’m definitely improving.
Thursday – Team Fight swim. Felt like I dragged through this, but it was awesome to be in the pool with so many great people.
Friday – Glorious rest day.
Saturday – 60 mile ride followed by a 2 mile run. I did this one on a 2+ mile loop due to the heat. I didn’t want to be too far from water at any point. Around mile 40, I got in my car and just sat in the AC for a few minute because I was so freaking hot. But I forced myself through the 60 miles. The 2 mile run was mostly a walk though, but given that the heat index was in the 110+ range by that point, I’ll take it.
Sunday – 12 mile treadmill run. I just could not face the heat again.
You triathletes are so impressive to me – I seriously don’t know how you do it! The heat and humidity have been killing me too. It seems especially bad this year and I’ve become more reliant on my treadmill than I’d like to admit. Hang in there and great work fighting through your training!
