4/16/07

Day off. Missed big swim and weights. Will try to make up Tuesday for a 4 sport day.

Travis puked all night. Got up 3x to tell him he was doing a good job. With any luck I'll avoid the dreaded Norovirus. Fourth time this year its invaded my house. Missed all workouts today due to tiredness and sketchy stomach.

3200yd swim
80min

Huge pool day. Mixed it up with IM, pull, and kick but mostly free. Huge confidence building day considering the preceding big workouts in previous three days. Feeling great tonight but a little dehydrated. Could be the glass of red wine I suppose!

A low HR avg because my speed was slow. My legs were blown from 13.2mi run on Friday and first time doing squats in 8 years on Saturday. Back and crotch gave out as well. But still got it done and didn't cut it short!!!
