Training Again!

So, I started another triathlon clinic on March 16th. They eased us into it with the first week not being too overwhelming, but I still got the cold that always seem to get at the start of training. What the heck? I really thought I was doing ok and might avoid getting sick, but it struck me down anyway.

So, Here's what I've done so far:

Monday, March 16th: run 40 minutes

Wednesday, March 18th: Run (~ 1k), Swim (~45 minutes), Run 45 minutes

Saturday, March 21: Sick

Monday, March 23: Sick

Wednesday, March 25: Did the swim (about 45 minutes), and was supposed to do 4x1k intervals with 2 minutes of rest, but I got leveled by a Migraine. At this point, frustration is rampant, I feel like my body is just messing with me.

Saturday, March 28th: Did the 3xBike/Run workout on Lagoon Drive that we've done here and here. This time, we were not allowed to draft, and given the 35 mph gusts we were having, my times suffered badly. I finished in 1h14m. Truthfully, I can't blame it all on the wind and lack of drafting, this was my first time on my road bike in about two months, and I can't say that my mountain bike has seen much action lately either. My fitness is lacking, but as long as I can stay healthy, the class will definitely help me fix that.

Tonight's schedule involves more bike and run intervals. With all the stress I've got right now, I'm actually looking forward to it. When I'm working out, I forget about all the other stuff going in my life. I guess it gets overwhelmed by the suffering. Who'd of thought that'd be a good thing?
