the day after the race i was pretty tired. i didn't realize it until i got to work and had to walk up the steps. on tuesday i had weights that went pretty well, and then a zn2 ride with the 3x8minute zn3s and 15 second sprints. that went pretty well except the first 20 minutes i couldn't get into zn2. it was the hardest thing to do ever. eventually i got there and the zn3 stuff was cake, plus i got to watch nip/tuck so i was happy.
wedesday i swam in the morning. i don't remember much about it and i forgot to do my core workout. i thought about it all day adn all evening while i was watching america's next top model and beverly hills 90210. OMG tori spelling as donna is so beleivable as a high fashion designer in japan.
thursday morning were weights which were fine and then a 1hr run with 3x8zn3, plus 1minute accelerations and 1minute rest. damn, that was fun. i even dropped eric! He;s been working pretty hard and he got a side cramp, but i just kept going. i was happy to see that my 1 minutes were averaging 6:33 which is super fast for me!
friday i woke up at 5 to go swimming but it was raining and had been all night so i went back to bed. :) my coach told me she was happy i was showing wisdom in listening to my body and resting when i needed it! hooray! those two extra hours of sleep did a ton of good though, that is for sure. i met up with leslie at gold's gym to swim later that evening. their's is a salt water pool and damn it was salty. it was a meter pool too and the water seemed all thick and weird. i didn't like it so much but i liked swimming with leslie and i was happy to get the workout in.
saturday we headed to port gamble. we hopped on the ferry and drove to the race site just as the race was starting. i wasn't racing but i got ready to go and noticed my handlebars were totally crooked. i wondered if they had been like that for my whole race last weekend? anyway, eric fixed them right up and i headed out. WOW! what a fun place to ride!! there was a really long road climb but really that wasn't too bad but the first bit of single track made up for all the road. it was twisty adn turny and tight and bumpy adn fun. it was uphill and there were somw switchbacks and i rode the whole thing! the coarse went through so many different types of landscapes that it reminded me of why washington is so awesome.
an 1:48 after i was back at the start, i changed into my running gear and headed out on a zn2-3 30 minute run. i was out on the road and it was way hillier than i would have liked but i was happy to see that i was just at the very bottom of zn3 but managed 8:16 pace. hooray! when i got back eric was headed out on his race and the kids just had a ton of fun playing. they were running all over and chansing some older girls that were there. they played monkey in the middle and chicken and it was just so fun to watch them have so much fun.
sunday the kids and i went for a walk to run some errands. eric was out riding but met up with us on the way home. then i went out for 1:30 zn 1 on the bike. it was supposedly 70 degrees out but i was wearing arm warmers and a vest. still, no complaints. we had dinner out on the deck which was pushing it because it really wasn't that warm but still it was nice to be out there. the kids played non stop.
there is a mystery watch alarm that goes off randomly in the middle of the night and its driving me crazy. it went off last night at 12:30. grr.
