This was a heavy week for me. I weathered the storm, but my long bike ride 51 miles was tough. Legs were just zapped. Thank goodness for a recovery week every 4th week. That means next week a can try to recoup a little.

Swim 6400 meters
Bike 137.9 miles
Run 20.1 miles
IM totals:

IM Week 6 summary April 30-May 6
More biking outside this week. Missing a normal swim workout so my swim total was lower than I hoped this week. Also the YMCA is now closed on Sundays, so no swimming for me on Sundays until the bodies of water warm up!!
I love my new ultegra pedals! They are very cool and should have switched earlier. However, I missed clipping in on two consecutive days and thrashed my left shin both days. Day 1's was worse and caused bleeding. It looked like I was hiding a golf ball under my skin,... but right on the tibial ridge!! On Thursday I also took a 0 mph crash as a moderately busy intersection. Lots of people witness it. Light changed and I was able to get stopped, but not unclipped. Once I fell, the upper leg (left) was unclipped but the right was not. It was quite a project to get the foot pinched between the bike and ground to unclip to get the bike off of me. Just one more reason to like running better,... no one ever falls over at a red light when out for a run!
Week 6 totals:
Swim 3100m
Bike 90.9 miles
Run 22.5 miles
IM totals:
Swim 18,250m
Bike 511.1 mi
Run: 118.4

IM Training Week 5 April 23-29
A great week of workouts. 3 swim workouts, 4 bike workouts and 4 runs. I biked 3 hours on the trainer for my long ride. That was tough and the legs felt shot at 2 hours in, but I made. The highlight of the week and so far in the trainer was a 1600 meter time trial in the pool. I wore the wetsuit and swam it in 38 minute 40 seconds. This was a 12 minute personal best and I felt strong!! The training is already paying off 5 weeks in!!
