I didn't realize it until last night when I was looking over my training program that I was moving up to the next set of swim workouts, the ~3,500m sets. I was not a happy camper when I saw this, I thought I had another week before the move up. Oh well, nothing I could do to change that.
3,600m = 500M wu, 4 x 100m drills, 5 x 400m @45sec, 8 x 50m drills, 300m cd
What can I say about the swim workout? It took forever! I am sitting here tired and hungry. The two bowls of Rice Crispies with a banana just isn't cutting it and I am craving some additional nourishment.
Oh, yesterday, I should probably mention that I did my normal Wednesday BRICK in the early AM. 45 minutes on my trainer, just slogging along trying to get my legs moving. It was not a good ride what so ever. Then immediately after I did my 30 minute run which started out really well and then slowly went downhill. I was happy to get home and into the shower, knowing that I was done for the day with my workouts. It was also my turn to get the girls onto the school bus, which meant it was a pancakes-for-breakfast morning!!! Yes, me and the girls were really happy about this and we ate like champs!
I still have an hour and a half ride (@ 15 min, insert 8 x 4 min Z4 @ 2 min spin) I have to do after work today. It should be a good ride, at least I am hoping that it will be.
Have a great day and peace out!

Thanks for the positive vibes :o)
Great job on the stepping up in the swim. 3,500 is a lot and rice crispies and a banana don't seem like enough to fuel you! Do you like oatmeal? I always find that that quells my hunger on big training days and is super easy to add calories (and flavors). I've got lots of ideas if you need any!!
The swim may have taken "forever" but it's quite a milestone to keep in mind. File it in your head for future reference when you need to if self-doubt ever creeps in.
