65 min ladder waterjogging: 20 min wu, 1 min hard, 1 min recovery, 2/1, 3/1, 4/1, 5/1, 4/1, 3/1, 2/1, 1/1, 10 min cd. I know this must've been hard because a) I almost vomited a couple times and b) for the longer intervals it was hard to keep my head above water which I think means I had no oxygen in my lungs. :) Swam 750 yards in 23:29 I am such a slow swimmer!! So a sprint triathlon is 750 yard swim, 20k bike, 5k run. Now I've swam and biked several times a week those distances or greater. There's a sprint triathlon the weekend in late June after the century ride. Hmm... Okay, I've been keeping positive about this stress fracture for quite a while. I need a short venting session so please bare with me. I have two friends who were at the same fitness as me before my stress fracture. I got a text from one friend this weekend that he ran 10 miles sub 7 AP (we were both trying to run a sub 7 AP half marathon in July). Then I got a text from a friend last night. She's tapering for a marathon next weekend where she will try to get her BQ. She did 5x1 mile repeats. Her last mile was 5:50! I text them back all excited and happy for them, but it really makes my heart heavy. I'm jealous I can't hit those paces and I worry they are just going to keep advancing while I'm working so hard just to maintain what I had. It makes my hard work seem inadequate too. Why?! That doesn't make sense for someone's one mile time to make a 1.5 h hard bike seem inadequate. What is wrong with me??? Okay venting over. Time to focus on my own recovery what I CAN do!
