A good week!!

I started my swim block of training this week. I knew it was coming sooner or later and my coach didn't disappoint me :-) I finished the week with 12 hours of training and 7 hours in the pool. I swam over 15,000 yds. for the week. This is equivalent to 8.75 miles or 616 lengths of the pool.

I think it was less than 3 years ago that I couldn't swim more than 25 yds. without resting at each end of the pool. I'm working a lot on technique right now because my endurance is really feeling pretty good right now. I'm still not moving through the water with the grace of a fish that I'm hoping for.

I have a feeling that I'll be having more weeks like this for the next few months.

I had some solids bikes and runs this week too.

I also lost 2 pounds for the week which was my goal.

Looking at potentially going to spain for a week to cycle, possibly mallorca or malaga. This is where many of the top professional cycling teams train during the winter because these areas have over 300 days of sunshine with temps in the 50's and 60's......sure would be fun if I can swing it.
