Cutback week, with a race sandwiched in there. Race was annoying - I was sluggish, and my legs just had no spark. But, at least I was out there. And as I keep reminding myself, I don't want to be superfit right now. I'll settle for healthy, consistent, conservative, and set up to get fit in the fall.
And hey, at least I was out there. Better than swimming with a pull buoy. Hips were definitely a bit achy during the race (had a long downhill stretch after), but recovered well after.
No training report for this week would be complete without a fireworks video. Enjoy.
