I rode into work on Monday - felt pretty good, but it's amazing how much speed you lose - I rode 5 minutes slower each way than my good times last year. That's 20 miles each way. So not terrible, but clearly I'm a bit out of prime shape. That's ok - no point in being in prime shape right now.
Tuesday and Wednesday I had to be in the city for 7:30 workshops - that basically meant that if I wanted to workout in the morning, I would have to give up sleep. So I skipped the morning workouts and ran on the treadmill on Tuesday and swam on Wednesday.
I tried to add some speed on the treadmill in a controlled environment, but I definitely felt the hamstring as I dropped below 8 minute mile pace - not too bad, but wanted to be careful since I have a 5K tomorrow and an adventure race on Sunday. Hopefully I can keep myself in check for the 5K tomorrow night. Stay tuned.
Swim was kind of wierd. There was only 1 lane available for laps and 3 dramatically different swimmers sharing the lane. In the end, I was left with a guy who was a very good swimmer. Nice guy - Matt - likes to swim in the open water. I liked his stroke - kind of a mix between my old stroke and my new stroke. I may try to emulate as he was much faster than me.
