Quick update, week of 5/10

Managed to punch in a solid week of training..

Things started slowly Monday & Tuesday time-frame, last weekend my allergies went beserk and I desperately took some decongestant over the weekend while the kiddos were visiting which put a damper on my sleep, I think it messes my REM sleep terribly...

Took Sebastian and Kaale to the pool and did a 1k time-trial.. I have to say that the decongestant masks alot of physical sensations, so I swam pretty well (for me) on very little perceived effort.

At anyrate, the rest of the week has gone well since it's rained like mad in Portland, cleaning up the air nicely. Thursday I had a big day of long swim, short bike and intense run, it was a nice way to find out if I can race crisply off big volume.

Naturally I felt pretty wiped out after all that but c'est la vie..

I'll keep plugging away as the outdoor season is about dawn on Oregon soon!
