Last week was a recovery week for me. I took more rest and let my body soak up the training it has done in the last few weeks. While I had an emotional week (feeling lots of anxiety for various reasons), I did have some spicy workouts that challenged me in new ways to keep things sharp and entertaining throughout the week.

Swim highlights: 0 yards
I had some anxiety last week that prohibited me from sleeping well and showing up to swim. Thankfully this is a new week, my anxiety is under control, and I am pleased to report that I already showed up to swim this week.
Bike highlights: 51.3 miles
Thursday’s ride was a real “treat”. Jess purposely wrote the workout for us to “fail” at some point to see how long we could hold on. Let’s just say that 4×2 minutes at 130% of FTP was INSANE and “fail” I did! 😜 I didn’t successfully achieve any of those intervals by holding onto the 130% of FTP for 2 minutes, BUT I showed up, pushed hard, and was willing to blow up to find where my edge was, so in my opinion, that is a success! ⚡️
Run fun: 14.2 miles
I took my long run outside on Wednesday this week before the snow started to fly. It had rained most of the morning, but I had just enough time between the rain and snow to squeeze in a 12 mile run. This was my longest run since IMAZ in November and it felt so good to be getting some run therapy in!
Snowshoe adventures: 0 miles
We got PLENTY of snow for snowshoeing last week, but the snow conditions weren’t great for snowshoeing with the girls. It was wet heavy snow when it fell and then the temps dropped and made the snow really crunchy. This isn’t good for them as the crunchy snow rips up their feet, so we opted for no snowshoe adventures.
