Rest Day. Yesterday i swam about 3 km and ran for 1.5 hours. Day before, it was 3 hours of biking and 30 mins running. The entire week before was an amped up version of training. Needless to say… i really appreciated my rest day. Unfortunately it contrasted a lot against my health, i woke up today with a huge migraine. As a side quest, i am trying to find ways to help me deal with my adult adhd. Adderral works there is no doubt, but i don’t love needing to use it, nor the rate im adapting to it. So i tried a thc based supplement. I have a long history of hating how pot feels. And this only worked to confirm it. Seemed to help when i took it. But the next day, second time, i felt awful, migraine, discomfort. The body, it’s always an exploration and discovery.

Today’s training: Pool swim While the race day swim is basically long and low, you want to work on skills that: 1) improve your “low” pace 2) improve your confidence 3) improve your form Today was more about 2&3 rather than getting some intensity in there to do 1. So drills are broken up by zone 2 freestyle (which brings comfort between difficult drills) Did some swimming with fists, some one arm swimming and lots of “breathe every 3” drills. The Form goggles i wear are a godsend, especially with Training Peaks compatibility now, so i don’t have to remember complicated drill sets, it just tells me. Only problem with Form goggles are the first lap, it records a time that is too short, something to do with when it includes the time For the turn. Anyway, the drills are not exhausting, but ARE uncomfortable (if they werent i wouldnt need them) Still hate backstroke and breast stroke and i’m still skeptical that i need to include them in my training.

So, i guess this will be all crypto and triathlon posts for the time being

And it starts….
