In the evening I went to swimming and just about survived. By the time I got home my shoulder was aching and my back had tightened up. I tried to stretch it out but couldn't get it to release at all. I have still not adapted to the clock change either and fell asleep on the sofa about 2 minutes later.
Tuesday was a run though the rain. Nothing spectacular but enough to get me my 50% badge for Strava October miles. In the evening I did a bit of stretching and rollering, and had to deal with my first guisers in the 11 years I have lived in Dyce. Fortunately, since I completely forgot about the haribos we had purposefully gotten in just in case, they were pretty chuffed with a handful of chocolate bars from my stash.
Wednesday I took the mountain bike but my legs were empty again. It seems that on my current plan Wednesday's are just where I run out of gas. Without the Tuesday night swim I didn't have the same ridiculous bonk as last week but I was still falling apart but the time I got home.
Thursday I switched my run to the mountain bike again to try and taper in to the weekend. I went to the pool in the evening planning to do the next Speedo On session on my plan. I did the long warm-up and the first set of drills but then it came to a set of 8x150m kick drills. I did the first two of those before getting fed up and quitting. I could have just pretended that was to save energy for the weekend but it wasn't. I did do another bit of stretching before bed.
Friday I had a proper rest day. A bit of stretching and yoga to try and help me recover for Saturday's race.
Saturday's Aquathon won't get a report to itself. I am happy enough with it. I swam ok, I ran ok. Nothing spectacular for either but about what I expected.
Sunday I went out with the Kintore Sunday Beginners group again. Another nice easy 26 miles in just over 2 hours.
Not a bad week. Not the best race, but some solid miles regardless.
