Flying Wheels

Another good week of training, capped off by my first century- woo hoo! The weather cooperated and I managed my nutrition and exertion well so finished strong. I’ve been tired this week (even turned off my watch/hr monitor on my Sunday morning run) so am looking forward to taper this week in preparation for Victoria.

Work was tough last week with two major presentations/events in addition to my regular work load. That meant some rushed and lackluster workouts, but things should be calmer here in the next few weeks leaving me more time to hone in on training. I now know that I have to tend to my sleep and eating amidst the craziness to keep my body healthy and strong for training.

I managed to thwunk my elbow pretty good on Sunday with the door to the truck. Angela took a look at it when she gave me a massage on Monday and recommended ice to help with the hematoma and swelling and not to start worrying unless I get sharp pain. It’s pretty colors and feeling sore to the touch/strong extension, but didn’t impact me swimming yesterday.

I’ve been spending some good time getting Scott ready for his racing debut (and me as well). Look for a Victoria race plan to be posted here soon!
