Is it Monday again already?

It is amazing how time slips by when your days are filled with training and work.

This last cycle of training had its highs and lows.

I have been fighting off a cold which meant skipping out on a couple workouts. Not too worried about this since two of them were bike workouts that would have been done on the trainer. That is a place I am not quite ready to go yet.

On a more positive note things have continued to progress with my running. It seems like I can now consistently run 5:45/km or faster and stay in my base zones. I still have a long way to my goal pace but I am happy with my rate of progression.

I had a great swim on Thursday. I was suppose to do 800m continuous as part of the workout and ended up feeling good enough to make it an even 1km. One goal for this year is to increase my confidence with my swimming. This 1km early is going to help out a lot as it puts me a couple weeks ahead of schedule. The better I feel exiting the water on race day regardless of time the faster I should end up finishing the race. I want to feel fresh, fresh, fresh when I enter T1. The key to success is maximizing your run potential.

My cold seems to be under control so it shouldn't be hard to get in everything this week. Looking forward to feeling solid again during my workouts.
