TheEd,
Just when I felt things were going to plan! Its 3:30am and have been unable to sleep so far tonight. Prob due to a mild migraine earlier today...:yes: This tends to happen...althought its been a long while since I last remember having one.
Hit surf Fri night for just one hour - small waves, nice to be out, bit of a workout on upper body, felt strong and had a good time. Felt sharp considering havent been in for over 4 weeks! Caught a couple of absolute peaches - rode down one wave face square on for 20 secs at high pace, must have covered nearly 100m - was priceless!
I should have sussed it here, really I should have felt rusty. The swimming training is having an impact. Had one beer Fri eve after surf - slightly late night about midnight. Seem to have trouble unwinding from the surf sessions if go in evenings, need to set up a new 'ritual' bath and stretch after without fail from now on.
Sat AM - woke early and surf was looking bit better. Felt tired, due to insufficient sleep. Anyhow decided to get in for an hour 8-9am. Slightly more of a workout - tired quickly got out promptly.
Home, chores, feeling vtired, then came the migraine. Asprin, 90 min nap at 1pm - turned corner, carried on with chores. Evening OK watched film, made the terrible error of having a coffee about 8pm - I never drinking coffee after 3pm and I mean never!!!
Bed at midnight...no chance of dropping off so far.
Right then - its all about the recovery. I have felt like this before when I havn't had a long bike or run - its definatley to do with not getting the nice slow, easy pace exercise in. Its the calming affect after those 2kms I needed. I should have prioritised the run this morning - live and learn.
Will get my head down soon. Tomorrow might go for a long bike as calves are little tight and then finish with a short waddle as I've grazed with my food today. May be I can turn this around for next weeks training.
I'm all ears to back off the schedule and re-group. We could 'postpone' the 6x1kms and I could just Waddle to re-find consistency - now I'm talking the langauge!!!
Look forward to hearing your thoughts,
D
