Rested = Good
After the sluggish start to the week, the recovery from last week is starting to show itself.
Wednesday morning was some bike/run pieces at the track but it was the Wednesday night bike that . Felt great climbing the Spanish Banks hill and even managed to set a PB on my second run up (4:19, take that M).
Thursday morning's swim was a strange one as I stuggled to hit my pace in the first two 200's but got stronger as I kept going and was having no problem going under pace in the last four.
Our evening LETC run was just a little pace work to get ready for the weekend race in Sooke so 8 x 400 m at pace (3:45/km). Felt like an easy run most of the way which makes me think I might have something extra in the tank for the weekend. Guess I'll just have to wait and see.
Finally, found this article yesterday morning.
Makes me reconsider my switch from hockey and baseball to triathlon. Enjoy and I'll update after the race on Sunday.

- You can learn more from failure than success… August 23, 2010You can learn more from failure than success. In failure you’re forced to find out what part did not work. But in success you can believe everything you did was great, when in fact some parts may not have worked at all. Failure forces you to face reality. Fred Brooks I was reading an article […]
