This week has certainly been an off week. No running or biking since Sunday. I've been going to swim practice but I really wanted to give my joints and muscles a chance to rest. I've always felt that a week off from time to time is a good thing. Especially if you take the opportunity to eat plenty of good food and spend time with your friends and family. A great way to recharge your battery and remind what is really important in life. Along with all of this and considering the birthday festivities this week I think it worked out perfectly. Everything will pick back up again Sunday with another hard brick.
Swim practice tonight was great. Long sets of varying distance with a few 100% sprints in between. Amazing. I used to find some of the drills we did overly complicated and some of the sets somewhat silly, but my faith in our coach was revived tonight with the workout we did. We did a few zipper drills with some slow stroke work. It was great because I could actually feel what it was the drills were forcing us to work on (mostly turning my hips with my shoulders). The main set totaled to around 1200 yards and included 150's of different levels of effort and a few 25 sprints. I'm tired and enjoying this chance to take it easy. I'm also looking forward to getting back into the groove and driving myself into the ground. :)
