triathlon training: week 6
Sorry I’m posting so late! This week has been crazy busy! We met with our real estate agent on Tuesday, started our “Get the House Ready to Sell” project on Wednesday, took MacKenna to the zoo on Thursday, had a garage sale Friday and Saturday, went to my parents for a BBQ Saturday afternoon, and did more home improvement stuff Sunday. Really, we did home improvement stuff every day (that August 1st deadline has really kicked our butts into go mode) and have made some good progress. We still have a TON of stuff to get done, but we’re slowly inching our way closer.
So, MacKenna’s lunch time was the first chance I got to sit down and blog. *sigh* I needed the time to just sit for a second. With how busy last week was, my training definitely took a hit, which left me totally frustrated by Sunday since I missed my one and only swim-bike-run brick in my training. Ugh. But, I do plenty of other bricks and 2-a-days that I don’t think my training (or lack there of) will really effect how I do on race day.

Not my best week but also not terrible either. I hate when I get frustrated about missing workouts when I had 5 great workouts leading up to that point. Oh well. I felt much better today after swimming and running. It’s amazing how much better I feel after a good workout session. On to the week ahead… Have a great week!
