Having had a rest day on Sunday the cycles to and from work were cold but surprisingly easy. The evening swim session was technical and focussed on turns, which meant less actual swimming than normal but some fast sets and good technical work. This will leave me trying to fit two longer swim sessions in later in the week though.
Tuesday I ran in to work, starting in a fine drizzle and ending up almost swimming the last mile. I have several showerproof rain jackets for running and I knew from the sound of the storm through the night that they wouldn't be enough. As it turned out my serious rain jacket was not enough either and I managed to get soaked through that and 3 other layers.
Wednesdays bike rides through the fog were pretty careful. In the evening I went to the pool planning to do 3 x 1km reps starting on 20 mins. Unfortunately that doesn't quite fit in a 60 min poolsession by the time I can get past the till, changed and in to the water. I made it through the first two and was 700m into the third when I ran out of time. Still my longest swim session of the year so far and pleased with the pace as well. A couple of years ago the 20-min starts would have meant an almost continuous swim rather than the 2+ mins of rests I was getting between reps.
Thursday and Friday were standard commutes with the only notable comment being that I am tiring from going so deep in the previous few weeks. Thursday night I did go to see Trainspotting 2. I have let my other blog lapse but am almost tempted to resurrect it just to discuss the film.
Saturday morning a torrential storm put paid to my plan to run to the pool but I did drag myself out of bed and drove there instead. I planned to then run later in the afternoon once the weather had cleared but instead spent the afternoon falling asleep and at the Lego Batman movie instead.
That left me looking for a massive Sunday with weights, stretching, core, 4 run miles, and a whole week of yoga to try and cram in to one day.
Sunday I had a lie in and then eventually dragged myself out for an easy run just before lunchtime. I did my stretching and rollering during the Italy-Wales game. My weights session during the Jump. My core session through Midnight Run. That still left me short of yoga giving me my first red number of the year.
I am still massively ahead on yoga for the year, but not happy to have missed a week completely. I have rolled that session over to next week.
