Super Bowl Workout Weekend

So another full weekend of workouts and the weather was actually sunny and not too cold. However, just when I thought my cycling was fine it goes to hell. I rode a good hard 90 minutes on Thursday and by Saturday my legs were still dead. I could barely get through 40 miles. This doesn't bode well. I'm hopeful everything will start to come together like all the previous years where February always stinks but July/August is good.

I keep trying to find my rhythm in the water. It just seems something is missing or changed. I think it might have to do a little with going from a saline pool to chlorine. I'm not floating as parallel as I need to be and I think my ass is dragging. I did put in some fast 100 intervals which are the fastest I've ever done. That's positive but my endurance just isn't there yet.

On Super Sunday, I was able to get in a nice 10 miler(longest run so far since the lung). I was clicking off 7:20s on the flat sections of the run. My legs were fine until about mile 9ish and then all of sudden they were dead. I think calories played a part. Overall, I'm still trying to tweak my diet.

On the luck for the year, it's still in the mud literally. On the run, the trail/path went under this road to avoid crossing a busy street. I didn't notice this on the way out so I waited about 2 minutes at the light. I figured I'd take advantage on the way back and sure enough the creek had flooded. The whole path was covered in 4 inch deep mud. I sloshed through and my shoes are totally caked. Perfect..
