Here's what this week was supposed to look like:

• Monday: 3300m Swim
• Tuesday: 4000m Swim+1:10 run
• Wednesday: 3300m Swim+1:15 run
• Thursday: 1:30 bike+ 20 min run brick
• Friday: 1:30 recovery ride
• Saturday: 2:00 open water swim (clinic/swim on the course in The Woodlands)+1:30 recovery run
• Sunday: 4:00 long ride

AAAAANNNNDDD.....Here's what this week ended up actually look like:

• Monday: 3300m Swim
• Tuesday: 4000m Swim+1:10 run
• Wednesday: 1:15 run+ a sore throat, itchy eyes, a massive head ache, body aches and a 101 fever
• Thursday: 1:30 bike+ 20 min run brick planted on the couch streaming about 22 episodes of the Mindy Project and sleeping after a lovely trip to the redi-clinic to (thankfully) get a negative flu and strep test and pick up some antibiotics 
• Friday: 1:30 recovery ride
• Saturday: 2:00 open water swim (clinic/swim on the course in The Woodlands) Get up early, show up to said clinic in the Woodlands in the rain, wait an hour and a half for them to actually cancel the thing, drive to the gym to swim instead, get my wet suit on, walk to the pool, get kicked out of the pool so 6 FREAKING SIX people can take over the ENTIRE pool for senior's water aerobics...wait it out...get wet suit back on and swim 5000m in the pool + drive to Fayetteville (TX) to watch hubby race and hit the road for a (very hot, hilly, sunny, brutal) 1:30 recovery run
• Sunday: 4:00 long ride Head out to ride in Fayetteville as hubby raced. Hot, humid, VERY hilly, chip seal the whole way, rain, and debris everywhere from a storm the day before. 2 flat tires with the last one slicing my tire with a lovely piece of glass so that took me out after only 1:30 (or 25 miles) of riding... So ya...at least I know for sure how to change a flat now

So ya..this week hasn't been the best. And it's supposed to have been one of my highest peak workout weeks. I feel like I did my best with what I had to work with so at this point...just trying to not let it get in my head that this week was such a bust...

So...peak weeks are done. 

Weird. On to next week...

Next week is supposed to be my transition into taper...haha...ya'll wanna see what "taper" transition looks like...

• Monday: 1:00 run+4500m swim
• Tuesday: 25.0 mile bike+3200m swim
