Xmas Week

Christmas has come and gone, i had a great visit with my family and Carley's family over the break but it was a lot of travel back and forth as well as dealing with the climate change, and a lost bike.
The rest of last week went well, some intervals on the bike on Wednesday and some swimming. Thursday was Christmas and i went for a 14mile run on freshly packed snow before having a great visit with my parents. Friday was a swim and some flexibility and core work and more driving.
Saturday i swam with the squad again long course. Coach Allian really is taking it to them. This was the workout.
1200warmup, 600kick
40x50 on :45 (first and third set of 10 where threshold)
2x800kick, 4x100 on 1:20pull, 4x100on 115 twice through.
then a cool down.
After the swim it was a longer ride it was nice to have my bike back.
Sunday was a little base work with a 3.5hour ride with some big ring slow cadence strength work followed by a 1hour run later in the day.
This week should be a great time with new years. I also have some great training partners in town. Blair and i are going to throw down some swims, as well as Mike Hay is visiting, and Ryan Smith will be back from Dallas later this week so we will have a great group for the next little while. Thats all i got for now. I am missing Texas, but being able to spend time with Carley has taken away some longdistance relationship stress so things are good.
