My week of very necessary super, super rest is over. I did about 5 hours of training last week and slept alot. And managed to get a little sick. Whenever I get sick it follows a specific pattern: sore throat, congestion, bad cough. I have practically no immune or respitory system.
Saturday i went up to Lake Natoma, which is right by the Aquatic Center and a high school crew race was going on, and did some open water practice. Snow-melt is always great to swim in and it was the kind of cold where your calves freeze up as you walk into the water. But I needed to practice, because open-water swimming makes me sick to my stomach. I'm always worried I'll have another asthma/panic attack and this time no one will be there to stop me from drowning.
Sunday, Steve and I did a 'mock race' on the Davis Mad Cows Time Trial course. It's a 10-mile (usually windy), classic time trial course around here, with people like Peter Allen and Steve Larsen on the results page.
I did it in 27:00. Which isn't great and I really should be capable of better. But it also isn't terrible. Especially considering that I suck at 'mock races' and am capable of alot more in real races. I went too hard for the first 4 minutes (was hoping I could hold it) and blew up some, but not completely. So. We'll see.
Now, it's time for build and serious workouts.
