This was a hard week of exercising. Mother nature was playing an evil trick on us with all the heat and humidty...among other things. This week we did not have church service on Wednesday, so we switched our schedule around a little - so Gary mowed on Wednesday so we could do an open water swim on Thursday.
The Thursday night swim did not go as well as planned at all!!! Gary and I purchased wetsuits a couple of weeks ago and wanted to try them out b/c our first triathlon is fast approaching (May1st). From diving I knew the water temp wouldn't play that large of a factor since we had our suits, but I did not take into account we would not swim with gloves, booties, and face masks. Once in the water our feet went totally numb and hands/face felt like pins were pricking every inch. Needless to say, the first open water swim didn't happen.
Then Saturday's run and bike workout was miserable! It was so hot and humid....so much so, I was wanting to quit cycling and give up triathlons. Alas - we made it through a 50 miler in 86 degree weather with humidty at 75%. Sunday early morning ride was a dream compared to Saturday's ride.
Weekly totals: r~10 miles, b~71 miles, s~3400 yards
