Ironman Arizona Week 11: A week to recharge

11 weeks down, 13 weeks to go.

The thing about doing really hard training weeks is that they're often followed by a recovery week. We had been building the hours and distance for the past few weeks, culminating in the 90mi/20mi double last weekend. The reward? A week of reduced hours and a chance to recover and do some non-triathlon related activities.

So I got a massage, went out for dinner with the girls from the book club, caught up with the T3 crew at Friday night happy hour, went out for dinner with our friends Arun and JoEllen, slept in Sunday morning, and went to a yoga class. Not to mention watching Sex and the City Season 6 part 2 on DVD, all 8 episodes in a row (I love that show). It was a restorative week, both mentally and physically.

Goal hours: 9.5

Actual hours: 9.1

Bike: 3.9hrs / 75 miles

Run: 3hrs / 17.6 miles

Swim: 1.25hrs / 2800m

I'm ready and raring to go again, except for the winter storm that is forcing us all indoors for the next couple of days! Good time to get on my trainer I suppose...
