I always feel lazy on recovery weeks - especially when I get a rest day on the Monday. Don't get me wrong, it feels good but still lazy.
Monday 22nd
Day off - the body wasn't in too bad of shape, I was pleasantly surprised.
Tuesday 23rd
Swim: 1000m easy free - felt good, speed was surprisingly fast.
Wednesday 24th
Bike: 45 minutes at AET - legs were a little tired/stiff for the first bit and the HR was higher than I expected but everything settled down by 15 to 20 mins in to the ride.
Thursday 25th
Run: 40 minutes at AET - very hot cardio room and lack of sleep (only 4 hrs) made for a shitty run. 2.71 miles
Friday 26th
Day Off - got a good nights sleep, felt much better.
Saturday 27th
Run: 60 minutes at AET include 4 x 20 seconds strides throughout the run - did on Sunday, could not resist running in the beautiful Sunday weather. Really good run, 4.61 miles. Strides felt really good, nice to see that the speed is still in the legs.
Sunday 28th
Bike: 60 minutes at AET - good ride. Need to get the bike ready to get outside.
The body feels good, slight tightness in the left quad but I'll go see the chiro about it tomorrow (he has done wonders for my left leg issues).
Next up, a build week - haven't seen the next block of training yet from the coach but I know that by Friday, I will be very happy to have a rest day.

I am impressed by your hard work! It's obviously paying off. I can't wait to see how you do in your races this season - I have a feeling it's going to be great!
I have to say that after this long attention to the task and all your positive words, I'm excited.
