Great training day
I got in almost 40 km on my bike early this morning before I started my day and then 2000 meters in the pool this evening. What a great day!
The ride, which I did with one of my teammates, was a lot of fun (and the weather was beautiful!).
I was really tired before the swim, but I did it anyway, concentrating on staying relaxed, keeping my stroke long and pulling hard at the end of my stroke. My efforts paid off. Towards the end, I did 100 meters at 90% effort. I was really tired at this point, but I stayed focused and the first 25 meters were relatively fast with a very low stroke count for me at that speed. The next 25 meters were almost as good. The second 50 was slightly slower and my stroke count went up, but I was so psyched about the first half that I didn't care. I can't believe I can be that tired and feel that strong!
