Summer Training - Down Week

With the heat wave in full effect and quite a few races on the schedule this was a bit of a down week for me in terms of overall mileage. One triathlon, one speedwork session, and one Killer Bee game...

Sunday		14-Jul		Appleman Triathlon				2.85		.5m swim/10m bike/3m run. 48th overall - kind of a 'meh' race. Not great, not terrible…a good workout.
Monday		15-Jul		Easy		0:07:54		8.53		Also did 6 barefoot strides - had a little bit of chaffing towards the end and didn't feel like getting that too irritated.
Tuesday		16-Jul		Intervals				10.02		800x2/400x8/200x2 - hot and humid as all get out. But I stuck with it and finished the workout. Tough to get a read on what my splits mean due to the weather.
Wednesday		17-Jul		Easy				4.00		Just an easy 4 around the Charles. Legs were really heavy today, but it felt good to shake them out a bit.
Thursday		18-Jul		Killer Bee's				4.70		Easy warm up w/Raleigh then the KB game - played very hard in the hot & humid weather.
Friday		19-Jul		Easy		0:07:56		4.00		Treadmiles at an easy pace. Extremely hot out - don't want to wear myself down.
Saturday		20-Jul		Easy		0:08:14		3.05		Easy.

Those splits weren't even close to where I wanted them to be. I was definitely a bit fatigued from the triathlon (my quads aren't used to climbing hills on the bike), but I think the heat was the real factor. I'm still fairly pleased though, because this would've been an easy workout to cut short but I stuck with it. 

Total Miles: 37.15
