Last week was a real lesson. We partied late last Friday and I felt terrible on Saturday. I did my training but it was hard and I didn't enjoy it. Last night was a normal persons night, no high school party. I felt so refreshed this morning and my heart rate was in the low 50's, compared to last weeks high 70's.
The only depressing thing was when I weighed myself this morning and I was up over 4 lbs since Tuesday. How could that be? I've trained a lot and ate fairly well this week. Then I remembered that I'm on antibiotics for my tooth and they can cause water retention.
I can hardly wait until I'm off the antibotics. I've been off and on them since December of last year because of my tooth and I've felt bloated for most of the year. Being on them that long can't be a good thing. Hopefully now that they've pulled the tooth I'll be done with the antibotics soon.
I had a good training session this afternoon. On Wednesday my legs were flat and I struggled on the bike, then two day's later, albeit Friday was a rest day, I had a strong long ride and brick run. I still don't feel comfortable on the bike, my butt and shoulders normally start hurting after two and a half hours.
Monday I've got a new bike fit scheduled and I've ordered a Profile Design Tri-Stryke saddle to be put on before the fitting. I'm really hoping this solves my comfort problem. I have to solve this problem before I start training for next years full Ironman races.
Todays training had a little bit of everything weather. It was cloudy, then it rained, then the sun came out and it got humid. One of the podcasts I was listening to was Zig Ziglar. I haven't listened to him for over 25 years. He's so entertaining, good content, great delivery and on more than one occasion I broke into major laughter as he told stories. If anyone saw me laughing when I rode by they probably thought I had severe mental health issues.
Tonight is going to be fun and I've been looking forward to it all week. Alice, Reid and I are going to Inglorious Bastards. What's cool is that Alice had to buy the tickets earlier today and we're going to have to show up early to get decent seats. There is nothing like the anticipation of waiting to get into an opening weekend movie and experiencing the energy of a crowded theatre.
