A New Best

I took it a bit easier this weekend and tried to shake my sore throat that has been bothering me for the last few days.

I really wanted to race a 5k on Sat. but was smart and took the day a bit lighter. I ended up going to the track and doing several 200m runs right around 37-38s/200 followed by a spin after a long nap. Sunday, I felt somewhat better although the throat was still bothering me. I hit an easy run and then hit some steady riding with a touch of strength work in the hills.

Today, was a new best. I've been hitting this swim set for many years and was a bit nervous to see the intervals Coach Alan laid out. The set was 24x100yds done on a 1:40, 1:35, 1:30, and 1:25 send off. I shot for a 5s or so rest between each send off. The set was done as one of each interval, so, 1:40, 1:35, 1:30, 1:25 the first time through and then two of each interval and finally three of each interval. I have never done this workout starting with a 1:40 and descending to 1:25 so I was pretty happy to be able to make each interval today!!
