Purposeful Training - Week of 7/5

In a nutshell this week looks "good" on the books as it were, but coming off Lake Padden last weekend I was hoping to hop back into the old routine: swim a ton, bike intervals and run track..

Turns out the weather and my schedule had a hand in my ability to get stuff done.

Yes, the frequency was good across the board; I did have a good swim set early in the week at Samena and did some fun riding in scouting out the Lake Stevens course (though I have not signed up yet) and a great ride to the top of Larch Mt on the fourth of July as the Corbett Country parade was starting and finishing.

My main purpose this week was to get through the workouts while the temps were about 95F all week and not blow it for the next session & day. Mission accomplished, but, I'm looking at the quality and it just wasn't there.

Well, we have some cool temps here over the next week, and in two weeks I'm off to race Seafair so I better buck up so that I have a good showing against those fleet Seattle boys.
