Recovery week recap

I didn't really feel like any of this week's workouts were epic/interesting enough to warrant an individual post, so here's a summary of everything I did this week!
Monday: meant to ride the trainer for at least an hour, but right as I tried to set up a movie to watch on my Mac mini it totally tanked. Subsequent frantic attempts to reboot and freakout ensued. No riding for me!
Tuesday: a full-on rest day, but Todd and I did do some snorkeling at the gorgeous beach at Mauna Kea. The water felt so great I had to punch it a little bit, but for the most part I took it really easy. Was surrounded by like 6 honu at once. Todd saw two free swimming octopuses! When all this is over, we are SO going back there to lounge and snorkel!
Wed: 30 minute run with 10 minutes at race pace. This run felt super short! Felt a little low energy and light-headed -- I think low blood sugar. Ran a little over 3 miles. A little tightness in my left leg but not bad. Stopped to stretch a little and kept going. This doc is really helping me, I think!
Thurs:
Master's swim first. I kicked ass at this one -- the pool was FINALLY open when I wanted to go! Swam 400 warmup, 6x200 race pace with 50s in between, and some cooldown laps, totaling 2300 yards. The race pace bursts were pretty hard -- I'm trying to work on my 'catch' (the part of the stroke where your arms pull back underwater) and have modified my stroke a little, which I can definitely feel! Made my triceps super tired -- hoping it will also make me FASTER!
That evening, 45 minutes easy ride on the trainer. Watched Slaughterhouse-5 (a GREAT film) but as Todd mentioned, it is really hard to keep up the intensity on the trainer because it's fairly boring and because I want to RELAX while watching a movie. But if I'm NOT watching anything, I will stop entirely from the boredom, so I guess I need some entertainment. I'm so glad we have a trainer now though, even if its boring -- need some breaks from the wind out there on 270, really our only option for riding from home. Sweat like CRAZY on the trainer, even with windows open and fans going! Reminds me that it really is rather warm and humid here.
Fri: 30 minute run z1-2. A little achey in the knee and hamstring but I stopped and stretched and it went away. Felt good to just chug along and not worry about speed too much. Ran about 3 miles again.
Sat: easy swim. We were in Hilo so went to Richardson again. Just as I went out it started to pour, and it was really choppy with some pretty tall whitecaps (for swimming in) at the opening of the reef. Once I got past them I was just being buffeted about like crazy, and it was super annoying, so I went back in to the protected area and swam around there for a while. There was somewhat of a current, so even though I didn't go that far I kind of got that treadmill/endless pool effect going. I bought some new goggles Friday, and I'm so excited because not only do they not leak, I can actually SEE through them, not just underwater, but in the air! Shit yeah! It made it easy to spot some awesome unicornfish and wrasses. Ended up only swimming about 20 minutes because Todd forgot his goggles and was all sad and drenched on the beach, so I went back in and lent him my goggles so he could take a turn.
