The week began with a ride on the trainer with some intense intervals and ended with my first ever half-marathon and in-between was a 3400 meter swim, which is nearly the IMKY distance.
On Saturday, I completed the Kentucky Derby Festival Half-Marathon in 2:20 or an average of 10:41 per mile. Since I usually go 11-11:30 per mile on long runs, I was very happy with the result. But it did come at a price. I was supposed to have a 3 hour bike ride today but needed a recovery from the 13.1 miles yesterday. Ended up taking the day off. Recovery will be helped tomorrow with a deep tissue massage.
I also made a decision about the running part of my plan. Since I was so far ahead of the plan mileage running, I wasn't sure if I wanted to let the plan catch up to me or scale back the running to the plan mileage. Well, after the required recovery for today, I think running 10-12 miles a weekend at this point would just hurt me so I've decided to move back to the plan distances.
For the week: 7300 meters swimming; 16 miles run; and 2 hours 10 minutes cycling.
