Week In Review :: Aug 10th - Aug 16th

STATS:
Swimming: 3,000yds in 2 session
Cycling: 10 mi in 1 session
Running: 0 mi
Maintenance: 30 mins
Total: 2.0 hrs

GOALS FOR LAST WEEK:
The only goal for last week was to have fun on our cruise and disconnect with work, training, cell phone, email, etc.  Over the past 4-5 years all of our vacations have been triathlon focused or family visits and even though those are very enjoyable it is absolutely necessary to remove yourself from all of the fuzz every so often and just relax.

RECAP:
I'm not going to go into much detail here since I'll be posting about the whole vacation shortly but the summary would be that both Jen and I had a great time and were able to clear our brains for a bit to just relax and enjoy our surroundings.  I ended up taking 3 days completely off from training and a 4th day where I just kayaked for an hour.  Every day that we were on the ship we only took the stairs and I think this helped to keeping off the additional pounds that would have certainly been gained otherwise.  I still probably gained around 2 pounds as it was.

GOALS FOR NEXT WEEK:
Next week is my first week back training so even though the volume will be ramping back up the intensity will be very, very low.  I don't really plan on keeping track of my paces but assure you that everything will be extremely easy.

* Get back into a routine.
* Try to start working out earlier in the morning.  I think the PM workouts are causing my sleep problems due to going to bed dehydrated.
* Three strength sessions.
* Swim 14K, Bike 250 mi, Run 36 mi
