Sunday – Ran the 4m JP Morgan Run for One today. Was shooting for a sub 6 min/mile pace PR but had a tough time after mile 2 going up those hills. Legs were sore from yesterday’s basketball game, should have rested my legs. http://connect.garmin.com/activity/172957428 4 mile, 24:38, 6:09 pace

Had my last swimming lesson at 9pm tonight. The instructor taught us something about open water swimming.. such as drafting, sighting and swimming in a straight line.. Oh man..all those open water swimming styles are so tough, really got me worried about the swimming part again. The hardest part is sighting, my legs kept sinking when I sight and really required a lot of effort.  So this week, because of the race on Sunday, I have not been training as hard, only did one bike ride. Need to put more effort in biking for this coming week.

Saturday  – Basketball and short bike ride

Friday – Swim for 40 mins in the evening, still hate swimming

Thursday – Rest day

Wednesday – Did a quick bike ride, 2 loops around CP and 4 loops around Harlem Hill. It’s a short workout because had a dinner appointment that night. I think in total, I only rode around 18 miles.

Tuesday – Did a lactate threshold alternate run with my team. 0.5 mile 5k pace and 0.5 mile 10k pace for recovery. Did 5 repeats in total around 5 m. Was pushing myself and average pace was 6:07 which was faster than my PR.

Monday – Weekly swim session plus Covo happy hour pizza after. I am still a slow swimmer so Nikki helped me took a video of my swim for me to analyze it after. Please critique.
