Poor Week

I'm feeling a bit low at the moment. This week has been very poor training wise, in fact its been a complete non-event. I can't help but feel that its a week thats gone and valuable time that this close to Ironman I can't get back. And thats more than frustrating for me.

To compound matters I've picked up a thigh strain thanks largely (I believe) to a ridiculous team building activity that I had to do for work - which also used up what would have otherwise been training time. I managed to get in a 20k run this week, but was left with a weekend where I couldn't bike or run and due to events conspiring against me, also couldn't get away to go for a swim.

I'm really tired as the work thing I had to do was an overnighter and I got a lously sleep, and as I was bone tired before hand it just made things that much worse, I'm actually quite upset about the whole thing, its really thrown a spanner in the works.

So how did the week go? Well I'm tired, sore, frustrated and in a pretty bad mood. I've had a very poor week training wise, normally the bright light would be that I'd be well recovered, but sadly thats not the case this week.

But trying to be positive I'm replanning next week. I'm going to have to be a bit more selfish with my time, unfortunately there's no way around that as I just have to get the workouts in or else Ironman will be one of the worst days of my life. To help with my leg I'm planning on hitting the pool pretty hard for Monday and Tuesday, hopefully by then I'll have the strain sorted out and can build to next weekends key workout - a half(ish) ironman simulation.

Fingers crossed!
