After Saturday's brick, it was time for some serious chillin'. Sunday we were planning to do nothing, but got so hot it was time to go swim at Mahukona. It was supposed to be a mellow snorkel swim, but got caught in a fairly intense current on the way back and ended up swimming way harder than I wanted to! HEY!
Monday we did nothing much except hike down to Pololu and play in the waves there a bit. Seem incapable of doing NOTHING active around here.
Tuesday was a 55 minute run with 20 minutes at low z4. Ran towards Hawi and back. My body was VERY resistant to getting my heart rate up. When I was running 'easy' I was going SO slowly.. nothing hurt, and I had enough food and water, and I wasn't too hot, but I felt just lethargic and like all I wanted to do was stop! At about 30 minutes I turned around, and a cooling headwind gave me some energy, which was good because I needed to start my 20 minute higher intensity section. Ran pretty hard and felt much stronger during this part.
Wednesday morning I got a new back bike wheel : enough of this broken spoke bullshit! Then went to Hapuna to swim and ride.
The swim was nice, about 40 minutes with 4x4 minute higher intensity intervals. Worked on form and felt pretty good.
Then it was time to ride, again 55 minutes with 20 minutes z4. Rode south from Hapuna to about the Waikoloa and back. Had the same experience with the run the day before -- my body just DIDN'T want to get going! It was made more difficult by a tough headwind the first 25 minutes or so. Again, however, once I turned around and started my higher intensity section I still wanted to stop but at least I was able to pick it up and ride stronger. The tailwind helped! Got back much faster than I went out, and felt more energized. rode about 15 miles.
