A Week in Retrospect

Excellent training week last week. I redeemed myself on the swim on two separate occasions. Swam 2600m of drills on Tuesday and swam a straight 2850m on Saturday. Saturday was supposed to be an open water swim but the cold air mass moving in created an icy washing machine effect to Lake Murray and we opted for 114 lengths of the community pool. You can only imagine how much fun that was. I was very thankful for my lap counter; otherwise, I'd have never counted that high :) Wednesday was an indoor trainer workout for the bike. This was relatively uneventful but successful nonetheless.

After reading several other blogs pertaining to IMAZ, I decided it would be in my best interest to purchase some neoprene sleeves to accompany my wetsuit. These arrive on Friday and I'd hoped to try them out on Saturday but that wasn't happening. They don't match my wetsuit which is BlueSeventy. Nevertheless, I am hoping the mismatched Quintana Roo sleeves will be worth me sacrificing matching to be able to feel my extremities.

The 31-page IMAZ athlete guide came out this week. I guess it's official. They are really going to have this thing...LOL...and I am really going to participate. Nah, in all seriousness, I can't believe how quickly the time has passed in retrospect. Granted, some days have been long and some weeks even longer but overall, time has flown relatively quickly. It's just been a long journey that I am looking forward to finishing.
