Consistency is Key

AM- Easy 5 by my lonesome. Felt really good to be running after a little break for swim state.

PM- 20x200 hitting mile pace in the rain! Missing most of the girls but running with coach was fun haha.. I felt super awesome the whole workout but even more awesome the last 4! 

6000 Meter swim with the team also in the rain :) Mostly stretch out yardage but at the end we did 4x( 3x100 hard with 200 recovery) I felt so so good on the last set of 3 and finally felt like my stroke was normal so that was a huge confidence booster coming off of a crappy state meet. 

Today was a little hard with everyone asking about swim state but Coach gave me some good advice during the workout to just let it go and use it to work harder so that's what I'm going to do. I am going to kill the North American Championships and show those girls that I'm a force to be reckoned with. :)

AM- 3miles easy with the girls and coach fielding and Powell! Talked about the bachelor and Valentine's day so it was a good time. Weights before!

PM-2hour bike ride with 5x8minute repeats. This was super rough and I am SOOO sore now but I felt strong:)

AM- swim team! I wore my red suit in honor of Valentine's day and it was the best practice ever! Coach showed up a little late so Molly and I got to write the warm-up too! So we obviously did 14x100 and 14x50 but then coach added another 1400 ;) after warm-up we had a 500 pacing set and I CRUSHED that workout. I was hitting some super fast 100 times and I felt so strong. My stroke was holding up and I felt good! After practice i ran to wally world to get some Valentine's gifts and accidentally came home with Easter candy... whoops. But I'm supa pumped for the track workout today and I have a massage!

PM- track today was good for all the girls! Our workout was harder than usual with our new paces for this season but all the girls really pulled together and had an awesome workout. ALSO I saw a double rainbow ;)

I got a massage after the run and it was AMAZING. I feel so much better now it's not even funny.

AM- hour and a half Bike workout on the trainer! 30x1min zone 4 and 10x30s all out. I felt strong and I can't wait to see how I do at the crit race this weekend with the men!

PM- Easy 4 mile run with the girls talking about boys and valentines day :) It's always a good time with our girls team

Easy swim today to recover from yesterdays workout and get ready for tomorrow morning! 

It was a pretty uneventful day other than some funny moments in physics! 

AM- Swim team! Had a super long warm up and it was freaking awesome because almost no one showed up so I got my own lane! We did some 200s of threshold and I was keeping up with the girls that were using paddles and I wasn't using them, it was awesome!

PM- we were supposed to run on the track but the soccer tournament kicked us off so we ran by the spectrum instead. We had 1000s and 4x1 minutes and 30s sprints! I felt like the girls were really working well together!

NOW TIME FOR BRING YOUR OWN PINT NIGHT!!!!

AM- Easy-ich swim with the team! I love swimming with them and coach Shawn was being super funny and joking around with us so it was super fun :)

PM- 3-hour bike ride with a 35-minute crit in the middle with the Cat 5 men. I ended up taking 6th which was awesome but freaking Adam beat me again lol. I took control of the group for a little bit which was sick and I was flying through the corners. We ended up riding 14.4 miles in 35 minutes and that's an average speed of 25mph which is pretty speedy because the course was really hilly. Now onto a date with THE Evan Boyer 

AM- Swim team, long warm up and threshold with some Speedplay. I felt a little off but I think it's just because it was the first workout of the week and it'll be okay tomorrow :) 6miles with the girls on prospector! It started snowing so hard when we cut onto church rocks and it was so beautiful! I wish I had had my camera! I've also never run in the snow before so that was a new experience too:) we had some good conversation on the run and got some hot cocoa after, it was a good morning:)

2hour nap whoops

PM- Bike inside on the trainer, with the main workout to simulate the bike pack and anticipating breakaways. Included some 30second sprints at 300watts that just about killed me.

Overall a pretty productive day! :)

I'm a noob and accidentally slept through my alarm so I didn't get to swim.... whoops PM- 6mile workout with a progression run and 200 finishes and 300 progressions. This was our first workout split into out race groups so I was with Lily repping the 800/1600 girls lol. Overall a good workout

AM- Swim! Had an awesome stretch out swim and an interesting conversation about tacoetry with Coach lol. 

PM- 6 miles on the AZ Strip with the team! We were missing a few sick girls but had a pretty big group.

Senior State Swim Practice- basically a warmup and then relay practice. Im super pumped to go out and race this weekend and redeem myself. I feel so ready to go crush some souls lol.

AM- bike workout!

PM- Senior State! I swam the mile and did pretty well for cutting back on my swim time this week to focus on TRIs. I swam the 100 in a relay too and went a 55.3 which is pretty speedy :) excited for the rest of the meet!

Am- Swim meet all freaking day lol. I was at the pool from 7-1 and then 4-9:30.... but I swam the 200free, 50free and the 400im. I haven't been hitting the best times but I think it's because instead of swimming 2 times a day every day I've been swimming once a day to accommodate my tri training so it's all good. I made it back to finals in the 200 and that was cool :)

YEAHHH BUDDYYYYY I FINALLY HIT MY BEST TIME IN THE 500!!!! I HAVEN'T HIT THAT TIME SINCE DECEMBER!! I felt really awesome and it was a HUUGE confidence booster! So pumped to continue training next week :)

AM- Dropped the ball and missed my morning run today...

PM- 5 miles with the team jamming to one direction and kesha so it was a good time

Swim team after! Nice to get back in the water after the weekend

Lighter day today because of the act so all I did was the track workout. I feel like I crushed the act though so that's dope

The workout was 4x800 and the first two were easier and then Lily had to stop because of sickness so I had to do the last two by myself:( but it wasn't too bad mad hopefully Thursdays workout is harder lol
