A great thing that has kept me on track, interestingly enough, is the "Check-in" feature for Facebook on Android. I know, that if certain people dont see my check-in every day, that they are going to hold me accountable and call me out. This week, I have been swim focused only, just so that I can get back into the swim of things and re-establish my routine. Next week, the plan is to begin to slowly introduce my triathlon circuit into my evenings. As I have said before, lack of funds has dropped me down to currently one class this semester- I may try to pick up a few more in March - when the next round of classes begins. Thankfully though, that means I can proceed full speed ahead on my training.
I must admit, I'm a bit scared to start training with my Spin Bike, Gunter. I hear his evil laugh coming from my workout room. He and my treadmill, Gustav are perniciously plotting my workout demise, I know they are.
My upcoming Triathlon workouts were taken from Tri Newbies dot com, and I am following the 18 week Intermediate Sprint Distance training program. I'm really just going to be following this as my "off-season" training until actual training begins in March- as, swimming 1000 or 1250 (oh my I just realized this said Yards... and I swim in a meter pool- and have been doing it in meters, oh well- that just proves my point lol) I can swim these distances with no effort at all- even after taking quite the hiatus.
My swimming workouts will most likely float somewhere around the 1650-2000m mark, once I'm finally back in the swing of things. I'm going to mainly be focusing on speed this year. I really want to finish the Tri in or around the 2 hour mark- ok... maybe that's a bit ambitious- 2:15 would be great.
So, that's about it for now.
Til next time!
