POULSEN RACING

This Geico makes me laugh every time i see him. You could save 15% on Car insurance by switching to Geico, i don't know if it is his appearance or his ascent that really makes me bust a gut. This little Geico is hydrating which is good because you have to do allot of that around Texas lately it has been hot. Every night while i am making dinner i turn the T.V to the Dallas or Fort Worth News, i like to keep up to date with what is going on around me. I have been pretty sheltered most of my life growing up in Canada with the lack of crime rate, so i enlighten myself everyday with news from Dallas. Living in Fort worth i don't see any crime very often and for the most part it is very safe and clean. I have found a trend in the news in Dallas which is only about 20mins away. For a month or so, there was constant bank robbery's like 2 a day or 2 every 3 days it was incredible and it went on for a month. What i don't get is that if a bank is robbed one day and there is another 2 that week, shouldn't the police start watching banks and gas stations??Oh well this went on for a little while. Then there was a 2 week period, where there was some hostage situations, pretty cool to watch on t.v live because usually i only see that in a movie usually featuring Denzel Washington or some one bad ass like, never mind Denszel is bad ass.
Well the past few days there have been a couple of shootings, one massive shooting where a teenager was in a car wreck and when people stopped to help he shot and killed them, unbelievable he even shot a police officer. Well i am glad i am living where i am living, i will keep to watching the news every night only to educate me and my small town mind. Pretty scary and sad that inocent people where killed trying to help out a car wreck.

Training this week:
Monday - a bit fatigued after the weekend, not going to lye or pretend that i am not fatigued after those workouts, it gives me such a feeling of how amazing those tour DE France riders are, how well they recover. SO yesterday was fairly easy, i did a 5k swim workout in the am, the focus was aerobic volume, it had a bit of speed in it but more or less some constant swimming. I did
12x300 on various pace times. 3 at mid pace on 4Min's, 1ezon 415, 3strong pull on 3:55, 1ez on 410, and then did 2 strong, 1ez and 1 strong, 1ez on 4mins. So it wasn't bad, a little fatigued.
Then it was a little 45min Trot later afternoon when temperatures decreased a tad. The funny thing was it was 100degrees and i ran buy some guy running in jeans, and he gave me a nod, pretty weird considering, it was dangerously hot, oh well props to that guy for running fast in jeans. So not much for the day just swim and an ez trot. Oh yeah legs a bit fatigued from 5hour ride yesterday.

Tuesday- am (today) 4.5 k Speed/threshold swim workout
After going to bed at 815 last night i woke up feeling great and ready to hit a workout, this mornings purpose was to hit a good swim because it was my main workout of the day. Just a cycling workout later on.
Main set was 20x100m on 130
1 dive all out, on 1:15 For this one since i did it from a push was to go a 1:05-1:06, then push off and hit 100m ez to moderate but staying on form. Then right into 7x100m on 1:30 at race pace, so sub 110 was the plan and i was pretty bang on with most of the swimming. Then i did 100 ez. And repeated the set again. I was pretty happy with how i was swimming, allot better than i have in a while. I think my body is starting to recover from all the long course racing. And i have a feeling my body was so depleted the last month from racing and travel and training between racing that i am finally getting some glycogen put back in my body, and brain for that matter.
Tonight is an ez ride, because the rest of the week is going to be alot of tough training. 13 weeks to go!
