I had a good swim workout this morning. The swim was 2600m/50min with an anaerobic focus. Started with a 1200 warmup and then did a main set of 6x75m fast (:54 steady thru out w/ :50 RI), 250m w/ pull buoy, 6x50m fast (:36 steady w/ :35 RI), 200m kick and 200m cooldown. Those fast reps were tough to recover from after the first few. I plan to get 1-2 more of these swims in before the race. This weekend will be biking both days w/ a transition run on sunday.
On a side note, I can't seem to figure out why I go crazy on sweets the last few weeks before a race. Amber made these strawberry shortcakes the other night and I have loaded up on them the last few days. I felt like I had to eat them up to get them out of my sight. I think my diet is so strict that once the sweets hit my lips I lose all self-control. I am so ready for a few weeks off of training to eat some foods I miss like burgers, steaks, beer, etc.
