st. stabilizer
Coming off of 2 hard weeks of build and feeling pretty dang strong - got a week of stabilization ahead. As I mentioned to my family in an email - right now we’re training, eating and sleeping/working when not training and eating. Today I got some major catch up time, got a solid 8 last night then took a 2 hour nap today, accomplished a project around the house and spent time with the family. I’m starting to get very excited about the trip, it’s getting close. Finished this week strong with 39.5 miles running, 141 miles of cycling and 7500 swimming. I skipped an 8 mile bike warm up and 1900 yd drill swim.
A week ago I told BJ that I was going to attack the week and I feel as though I did that. I worked my ass off and put in the time. This week I shall stabilize and catch up on life which still makes for an unreasonable schedule but at least its a little switch up on focus.
I have a few new best friends that I want to share…..Skins recovery tights (magic), Numetrex heart rate monitor sports bra and strap (limits the suffering) and Foot Rubs (keeping my paws happy). Good stuff….self care is huge for me, my body does not appreciate it when I ask so much and then don’t give back. I must be proactive with self care or my body will revolt.
Another good nights rest tonight.
An north'eastana to the core, I can hold my own and always with a smile.
