Killer Weekend Workout

It is Monday morning and I am kind of limping and dragging. In a good way, if there is such a thing. After a tough work week, I really dropped the hammer this weekend. I did a 40 mile, 2 hour ride on Saturday. I was pretty pumped to average 20mph for my first longer outdoor ride. My form felt pretty good and my legs were strong.

On Sunday I swam 2500 fast at our team training. We did a fair amount of sprint work tied in with distance. Great for the race enviroment of the heart rate going up and down.

After that we did track work outs. My run workout went like this,

Run 1 Mile at a 6:00 pace (jog a quarter mile after)
Run a half mile twcie at 3:10 pace (jog a quarter mile between and after)
Run a Quarter mile 4 times on 80 seconds (200 meter jog between each)

Basically I ran 3 miles in 17:40, a 5:53 pace with a mile jogging split in between.
That is a very fast pace for me and probably the biggest reason I am so tight today. In some sick way, I love it....
