taperizing

rode bike trainer twice yesterday. 1 hour each. once in morning once in evening. will do another hour tonight.

last Saturday had a decent swim followed by a very crappy bike ride (including my first keawe thorn flat). I passed on the run altogether in favor of bodysurfing (first time i've seen decent swells at Hapuna in months). During the swim the water was so cloudy you could hardly see the bottom of the bay (typically it is very easy to see the bottom and guide your swim using the lines in the sand).

Thursday I did a 50 minute bike ride followed by a 1hr40minute run. bike ride was marginal. run was good but i could hardly walk afterwards due to stabbing pain in the right knee most probably due to a tight IT band. lots of stretching to do. Plus a massage the next day from Trish helped a great deal.

Mon-Wed I didn't work out due to having a cold.
