Consistency is Key

AM- first swim practice with susa since Sarasota. Not too hard in prep for this week. PM- skipped school today to train with the university of Utah's tri team. Did a bike warm-up up the nemesis at sand hollow and then did a bike workout. It's nice to see my improvement from last time I did that workout. Track- killer workout in prep for this weekend. So pumped to get out there and run in circles again :) This is the first week I'm putting on here since before Sarasota. Just didn't want to overthink anything before and after the race.

AM- swim session with the U's team. Time trial 500 and some other fun hard stuff!

PM- 50 mile bike ride from Snow Canyon to gunlock, up the wall and to veyo for veyo pies :)

Then off to work at the trusty bike shop lol

I only had one workout today!!! First time in forever that that's happened and man did it feel good.

Track- 400's at race pace with a 800 and finishes. I'm so ready for this weekend it's not even funny! I have two workouts tomorrow in prep so that should be good!

Also in case anyone actually reads this- the great British baking show is AMAZING. Like so funny and I basically binge watched a whole season over the past 4 days so that's fine lol. Anyways that's all

AM- Swim with BAM. 1k time trial which was pretty decent but not great. I was a total noob and showed up late because I thought it started at 8 but it was actually 7 so that was wonderful. 

PM- 4 easy with the girls and then some finishes on the team with our spikes on. We have so many girls pushing up to run with the gold group right now and it makes me so excited for this season!

First race tomorrow and I'm SUPER pumped :) ready to see some hard work pay off!!! Go Lady THUNDER! <3

All I had on my schedule today was the PV Track meet! 

I went to precalc, then went home and packed then headed over to the meet at 11:45. I did my normal warmup and spent the whole time trying to find Bailey and Sam because I was a noob and lost them...  anyways, the race wasn't perfect but it was just what I needed to break off the ice of not racing and get out there and run fast. I went a 5:18 and I'm definitely happy with that! Sometimes I get nervous to push up in races when I'm running with certain people because I feel like I shouldn't be running in front of them. It's classic imposter syndrome I know but something I just have to get past I guess. Onwards and Upwards!

YAYAYAYYAY!!!
Ran the 800 today and it was awesome!! I had told myself to just go out there, take a risk and run fast because why not and it paid off! I qualified for state and took second! I felt like I ran a smart race and it always feels good to PR! Now onto another solid week of training next week :) 

AM- Struggled to get up this morning but did it and got to am swim bright and early. There's nothing like getting up at 4:30 to go jump in a cold pool for two hours. 

PM- Super hard workout time wise and mentally. 2-mile warmup and 12x400 at different paces. My times were suuuper speedy and it kinda scared me but my first four were super solid. Then I started slowly dropping my pace but all of the girls were a little off today. Coach adjusted the times and almost all of us finished the workout alive which is a feat in itself haha. 

Went home and got about 30 minutes of some good strength work in.

Also just so the blogiverse knows it may or may not be my 17th birthday Wednesday ;)

AM- Killer bike workout! I felt actually really good and I was super surprised just because my legs were so dead after yesterdays workout.

PM- Easy track mileage on Church Rocks then off to work. 

AM-  accidentally missed morning swim but it's my birthday so it was fine :) 

Went to Cracker Barrel for breakfast with my parents for my birthday and it was soo good. Then I went to school. Lily got me the sweetest present ever! She's so amazing and my best friend <3 

PM- Went to track and did a dope track workout. The 800's weren't so hard that we were dying but they were still a push so it was perfect! Also, we had an impromptu dancing party on the track to Dancing Queen by ABBA for a certain someone's birthday ;) 

THEN I went to swim and hung out with all those kids while getting a solid workout!

Went and got day of birth Ice cream with lily Lauren and Sam and had a good ol time. 

Honestly it was one of the best birthdays I've ever had :) 

AM- 90 minute bike before day of thunder!

PM-swim team

AM- track workout at Dixie cuz they're redoing our track. My leg like freaked out during the middle of the workout and I had to stop which sucked...

Got a massage and that helped a lot.

PM- swim and rolled out FOREVER to help loosen up my legs
