so last week was 14 hours of training, plus solstice. i called solstice, playing from 9-3, and from 10-12, plus warm up, 8 hours of excercise total. there's just too much standing around at a tourney. so 22 hours last week. ridiculous.
the tournament was fine, we had 13 most of the time, with a couple pickups later. my 1000's and 800's might have kept me from getting hurt (i'd like to think i have some idea of what i'm doing) but didn't make me quick or fast. something to work on for the next two months. lot of work, but we played 'good teams'
lots of running and biking and some rollerskiing this week, some bike intervals tuesday (4 x 6 minutes up some ridiculous hill, recover 2 minutes) and the duathalon was miserable. i... just... felt... like... crap. oh, and the huge gain from last week was partly due to a shorter course (rather, we've doing 13 or so miles on the bike, instead of 12)... so my times look like this thus far, w/ the outlier in parentheses... 1:04, 1:03, (59), 1:01... so the progress is there, even if i'm grimly dissatisfied with the results. the top times are around :55 for these, so, obviously, i'd like to be there. oh well. i guess as long as i'm improving.
things i'd like to add/change: more stretching, tapering before events, weights. but frankly, i'm a basket case if i'm not outside during the summer. so paddling or double pole skiing (don't use legs) for the afternoons would be good.
frisbee, get a little faster/quicker... that's really about it.
this weekend (my training week ends sunday night), tommorrow, medium mt bike ride (1.5-2.5 hours) and intervals (Running, 3 x 1 mile). Might just do the intervals, and go for a paddle. Sunday, long bike ride (50 miles) up and down to mt. bachelor, hike the mountain. Should be a 4 hour workout... or something like that. Monday, bike intervals, tuesday, easy (frisbee/spenst/agillity/dynos/core type stuff), wednesday, 5k fun run, thursday, cinco de cinco. 5th time trial.
