Rough workout today. I can run. I can bike. I can swim. I can do all of these things fairly well. But, when I attempted to combine running and biking today back to back in anticipation of the triathlon, I failed miserably. By the end of the workout I was doubled-over vomiting on the side of the road. Things I did wrong: 1.) I got a late start resulting in the second half of the workout being performed in the mid-day heat; 2. I failed to eat anything this morning before I took off; and 3.) I failed to bring along any water. So no fuel, no hydration, double tempo workout in the heat of the day. Brilliant idea. My IQ may have dropped into single-digits. I am hoping today was a fluke. An off-day, if you will. Otherwise, this triathlon is going to be a beast.
***Plan for rest of today. Homework and practice exam. Prep for work as I have a long day tomorrow. And, Zumba this evening.
Tuesday= a.m. run-thirty minutes only. Afternoon, bike (1 hour)and weight training.
Wednesday= a.m run - thirty minutes. Afternoon, Zumba.
Thursday = Go try out the new PiYo class before work (I'm looking forward to this). Bike (1 hour after work plus weight training)
Friday= Zumba or Run in a.m. Swim the cove for an hour in the evening.
Saturday=Zumba a.m. Bike-1 hour
Sunday= Long run.
************School is tough. I don't remember it being this intensive when I was a young, whipper-snapper. Ha. So tough that I've commenced googling Carribbean Medical Schools because I'm worried my GPA in the science pre-reqs will be closer to a 3.0 than a 3.5. Unfortunately I have no idea how I can transport 17 horses, 2 dogs, 2 teenagers and a husband to the island of St. Maarten. But, I guess if there is a will, there is a way, right?
Hope everyone enjoys the Labor Day. It is the one holiday of the year that I mostly spend doing a lot of unpaid labor. Off to clean house now!
