After spending two weeks in Greece, I was back in SF ready to hit the IT (Ironteam) workouts. Curious to see who I am spending my time with these days? Below is a team photo from kickoff! Can you find me? I'm in blue.
Wednesday night track was the first time I’ve ran in about 1.5 months due to injuries I’ve come across over the last 6 or 7 months (retrocalcaneal bursitis, achilles tendonitis, minor hamstring tendonitis and some stuff going on with the Iliotibial band). No worries, I am in good hands with Dr. Rabbetz and will be committing to a stretch and strengthen regimen that should help prevent those injuries from reoccurring. I have to say, I felt surprisingly good during the workout and the morning after. I was a bit anxious about going to track because of the time I took off from running but it turned out alright for me. I felt good and nothing flared up in terms of knee or shin pain which is a good sign.
Cycling..I need to get back into cycling shape. Hez and I did our own 15 mile time trial since we missed it with the team and I felt slower than a slug. Not that I am Speedy Gonzales but a slug is pretty darn slow. Last time I biked was at Big Kahuna when I road 56 miles back in Sept 10th and I did an 18 miler before leaving for Greece but even that few weeks off the bike...ugh!
Swimming felt good though. Actually, let me start over. When I hit the pool for the first time in about 1.5 months this past Friday, I felt like crap. Then Sunday, we had a coached swim workout and that felt a lot better! Felt better in the water..glide felt better..kick felt like it was there as opposed to Friday.
Nothing but improvements to look forward to!
