14 hours sleep

Yup. That's how much sleep I got last night. I lay my little head down on the couch to nap after supper, even set my alarm to wake me a little while later so I could cycle and ... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Guess I needed it. Though I've finished my day contract, I've been busy catching up on paperwork loose ends and also on helping to finish the Operation Triumph website.

Here's a summary of my training for the past week, starting with tonight:

Thurs. Feb. 28
Cycle - one hour
Swim - total of 1700 m
I tried a "ladder" for the first time. I was supposed to swim 1750 total but got kicked out of the pool after 37 min. when it closed.
1 x 250 m
2 x 200 m
3 x 150 m
4 x 100 m
4 x 50 m (yup, missed that last 50 m)
I'm still happy with my time, considering I took about 15-20 sec. rest between each set and each rep.

Wed. Feb. 27
Swim - 15 x 200 m, including the following drill sets:
- swam the first 5 sets with flip turns at the ends = 1000 m
- 50 m fist, followed by 50 m "feel the water" (x 2) = 200 m
- 50 m fast (x 4), did this twice = 400 m
- 25 m kick on right side, 25 m kick on left side, hated that then switched to 25 m front kick, 25 m back kick (x 3) to finish 200 m set = 200 m
- the rest were just swim sets, sometimes concentrating on glide and long strokes, other times on completing the arm stroke down to hip, other times on rotation and breathing, you get the picture ... technique is everything!

Tues. Feb. 26
Run - 8 km very snowy mountain run with JC, like running on sand!

Mon. Feb. 25
Upset belly meant "stay-close-to-home-pyjama-day"

Sun. Feb. 24
Recupe from Saturday

Sat. Feb. 23
Run - 5 km
Snowboard - 4.5 hours of solid fun!

Fri. Feb. 22
Swim - 10 x 200 m = 2000 m
- 1 kick set, 1 fist set (50 fist, 50 regular) x 2, and also 2 sets of (25 fast, 25 slow and smooth) x 4 = 800 m
- 1200 m regular swimming, of which 2 sets included flip turns
Bike - one hour while watching "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" - Yes, I bought all four seasons! Woohoo!!

Alright, now I'm almost half-way to how many hours I should be training now ...
