Today was the 3rd active recovery day and tomorrow its on. My title says Recovery? Well i think it says that. I pulled out the Hawaiian dictionary but i was a bit confused with all of the words to represent Recovery.
This morning started with a wake up call from my little annoying friend Mr Rooster! I am not sure where they come from but every morning they seem to find our back yard to squawk!
Good swim this morning, another 5k or so with 24x50s (mixed sprints) followed by 24x50IM, and then 1000kick for time. Lots of quality the past two days in the pool and we have some new additions to the squad adding another Olympian(Lisa Mensink) and multiple Ironman winner(Heather Gollnick).
After the swim we had a nutrition break and some relaxation, before we did a 2.5hour ride towards Hana with over gear work on the climbs. Off the bike it was an easy base run with Justin for 1hour where we met up with Brent for part of it out on the trail. The legs felt good and we needed to hold back on our aerobic pace as we were cruising at 6min mile pace on grass. Lance gave us specific orders of keeping it as a jog, so we backed off slightly but still ran over 9miles for the hour. Even though we are starting to get pretty tanned, we still hear some heckling from locals when out running in shorts. Tonight has been all about great nutrition and putting the feet up. Today was my first 5hour recovery day, you gotta love the volume at camp! Criminal Minds and then bed, awesome.
Cheers for now!
