The third week of my renewed triathlon training hit a minor snag. It rained all week. It wasn't just a little rain, either. There were massive thunderstorms, power outages, and pool closures. The ocean (and air) was freezing and the roads were constantly flooded. It was a little insane. Anyway, this made swimming a lot more difficult. I didn't give up entirely all week, but I decided to take the opportunity to rest and lift a little more than usual. The real challenge is going to be this week. I am headed to Chicago for the next 6 days where the food and alcohol will be plentiful. I mean, how can one travel to Chicago and NOT eat deep dish pizza or drink Goose Island's 312 beer? I also won't have access to a bike, a gym, or an ocean. I suppose I could try to swim in Lake Michigan, but there are two problems with that: 1) it's only early May so the water is FREEZING; and 2) Lake Michigan is gross and dirty.
Anyway, here is my Week 3 training schedule:
Monday - Run 25 min (2.8 mi.) + swim 15 min
Tuesday - Off day
Wednesday - Weight Lifting + Run 26 min (3.1 mi.)
Thursday - Off day
Friday - Bike 20 min. + Run 26 min. (3.1 mi.)
Saturday - Off day
Sunday - Weight Lifting + Bike 50 min. (16 mi.)
