Recovery and Gearing Up

Last week was my recovery week after my sprint tri. I know, I needed a recovery week :) Good news on the knee. It's "just" Patella Femoral Syndrome (PFS) due to muscular imbalance and partly due to lack of hamstring flexibility. I am headed to PT on Thursday to obtain a home program as I was only able to run 1 mile this morning without extreme pain. Julie was right all along, just took me awhile to do something about it. Julie's degree is already paying off, woop woop!

I rode legacy parkway on Sunday. It is a flat trail out by the airport and about 13 miles one way. Being the ambitious athlete I decided out and back wasn't enough as I have done that a number of times and also do my interval training out there as well. So, I decided to do a 50 miler. Success!! I averaged 18.5 mph and completed 50 miles in an 2:40. This was a HUGE confidence booster, as the pace was faster than my sprint tri bike split and the upcoming tri has a flat ride as well as the relay tri Anna, Amy and I are doing in July. My goal is to complete a century prior to departing Utah.

As for last week, swam a little, walked a little and rode a little. However, Amy and I have taken up a new sport: Tennis. I absolutely love it and it's a great workout without the feeling of exercising. At first it was kind of spastic, but now we are moving more and hitting some harder and more strategic shots. I am excited to see how we progress!

Lastly, I have spent a number of hours working on my business logo and have posted below. Next, working on getting the website going!

Total goals for this week:Bike: 80 miles (50 completed)Run: 5 miles (1 completed)
Swim: 5,000 yards (yikes)
