I imagine working out doesn't always look graceful. Some days you just have to get in there grind and crank and get the job done. That's exactly what I did today. I swam this morning....and I swam fast. I'm sure to others it may have resembled some happy walrus splashing around, but to me....I was just flying, swimming as hard as I could, and I had a great swim!
Then I had a bike. This as well could have been interpreted by spectators as some crazy twitching sweat bomb going off for an hour an half. To me, I was spinning fast, working hard, rocking out and in the zo
ne.When I workout something switches on and my intensity level just kicks. I just don't know how to take it easy, go slow, or slack through a workout. I'm always pushing, trying to go faster, further or do more than I have done. This is how I get a sense of accomplishment and achievement from my workouts, and hopefully....this strategy pays off for Ironman.
Even if it doesn't look all that spectacular to the onlooker.
Day 90 Training Log - Today I had a 1500 yard speed swim and a 90 minute bike ride. I hit the pool this morning and just worked hard. I swam until my lungs were bursting and it not only felt good, but it also got better as the swim got a little further. I went back to the gym this afternoon to hit the stationary bike because I could not bring myself to get out in t
hat rain and wind. The weather here in Seattle has been sucking so bad the last couple weeks. Rain, wind, cold...repeat. Anyway, rather than hard intervals today I did speed intervals on medium gears. This was sweet, I was alternating riding fast, and riding all out. I was listening to my tunes, laying down on the bars and just cranking out in the zone. Oh...and sweating ridiculously.
