3 Weeks to Bryce

June 29-July 4
Swim: 1200 m. Bike: 103 miles. Run: 9.25 miles. Other: 1 hour.

It was supposed to be a hard training week, but I had zero energy. I started takin ga multi-vitamin and iron again. We'll see if that helps the energy levels.

Monday:

• 23.3 mile ride. 16.7 mph. 1:20:29. Rode up the twist with Ash and Merrill. Good ride.
• Hour of kickboxing with Ash. And it kicked my butt. I was definitely sore on Tuesday and Wednesday.
  

Tuesday: Track workout. Dennis is back and had us do some new things. 1 mile warm-up, 4 x 100 meter turn-over drills, 2 x 200s (:46, :49), 5 x 800s (3:17, 3:17, 3:20, 3:21, 3:16), 4 x 100m accelerators, 1/2 mile cool-down. It was fun. It brought me back to my high school days.

Wednesday: 1200 m swim at the lake. 27:52. My fastest ever. I was really tired, so I just wanted to get out and do something, but I felt much better after the swim.

Thursday: Rest. I was supposed to go on a tempo run on the tread, but I couldn't get myself to do it.

Friday: 80 mile ride with Tom. 18.3 mph. We started in Hurricane, rode to the park, up Zion Canyon to the Temple of Sinawava, back to Hurricane and to the top of the Sand Hollow hill. I had very little energy the whole ride, but especially the first 20 and the last 15. I barely made it up the hill home. It was close to 100 degrees by the time we finished.

Saturday: 3 easy miles on the tread. 8:05 pace (last one at 7:19). I should have gotten up early and done a long run, but again zero energy. I hope I figure out what is going on.

This next week, I only have a few days to train early in the week and then I will be on pioneer trek from Thursday through Saturday. I will be walking a lot, but no running. So hopefully I get some good workouts early in the week.
