The body knows best...

Happy St Patrick's Day!

I don't own any green clothing but I sure do feel green today.
Man I hate being sick. It's my own bloody fault though LOL. I should have taken a full recovery day on Monday after my race but nooo I had to swim and lift weights then I did a killer brick workout on Tuesday (60 min spin class, 48 min run). Opps, that was a bit wee too much and my body laid down the hammer on Wed forcing me to rest.

I'm not sure what I had but it knocked me flat on my back yesterday. Every time I tried to get up I would become very light headed and almost fainted once or twice. Oppsy daisy...., sorry body I will listen to you a bit more closely now. LOL


Don Cherry would be proud I'm inhaling my Cold-FX in the hopes this virus will literally bugger off!"I take it every day!!"



No worries though mates, I'll be taking the next two days off to recoup. Next week is my "step-back" week (-40% reduction in volume) so it will give me a chance to ease back into the groove before I kick it up a notch on March 27th when I begin my Olympic Distance training program. I'm DYING to get into the pool though, crickey it's been 4 days and I miss it. Gotta get well before entering the pool though.

My first Tri is only a few short weeks away and I'm going to be nervous (the bike course has LOTS of cornering) so it's important to be mentally and physically sharp. My goal at the MRC Sprint is just to gain experience and I don't want to get hurt so my focus over the next few weeks is to maintain my health by not getting sick again and to keep my mental focus. Yes yes and to listen to my body when it says, REST!!
