Sun 12 - going to try to do a mock triathlon at the gym
Well, I went to play golf and maybe shouldn't have. At some point I hurt myself... my hip flexor I believe... feels the same as when I hurt it in baseball. Decided that I should not work out today to try to let it heal a bit. I need to look up whether heat or ice is good for that.
Mon 13 - run 3.5 mi
just going to ice my hip today, I'll try some stretching and light spinning maybe tomorrow or Wednesday... could do easy swimming too probably.
Tue 14 - recover
Rode the exercise bike for around 30 minutes just easy. My hip flexor (or whatever that was) feels fine now.
Wed 15 - swim 750m
Tried to see if I could swim this without stopping... and I did pretty well. I only stopped at the ends of the pool long enough to move my flip-flops (my lap counter). After 500 meters I did do about a half a length backstroke, but the rest of the time was just slow freestyle. Took me 20 minutes to do the 750m. Felt like I was dragging my legs a bit and not kicking as much as usual, so I think that was pretty good. I think I'd be happy with anything under 25 minutes in the triathlon.
Thu 16 - bike 12 mi
Didn't end up doing any exercise today.
Fri 17 - recover
Sat 18 - Lake Powell triathlon
2 down! I'll make a separate post about the race.
