Trainings 19: 27 Sep SUN (time trial)

Recap for the week:

Wed: AM: GYM
PM: 20 lap swim + 1hr run

Morning gym was a mad rush but rather good. adapted and no longer felt the nagging pain.
Did more in the evening. Was actually rather tired, but struggled through as I had over-eaten. There was left over pasta at the management lunch that I gladly finished up at 5pm. Cold Stale Cheese just wriggled in my tummy that i have to burn them off. Running to eat.....

Thurs: REST
Badly needed it

Fri: AM: Shears x 9
PM: 20lap lane 8 with Lex

Decided to run faster for the hill reps. Slight closure due to the F1, just have to move the barriers away. By the 6-7 rep, things aren't right. My chest was very tight and at the end of each rep , i was really seeing stars... stopped at the 9th instead of the usual 10.

PM, went to gombak with lex for "easy" run. Turned to a rather awesome effort for me. No gd.

Sat: AM: 30 lap swim + 3k easy....
PM: 5k easy

In prep for Sunday time trial , decide to go easy. Woke up late and feeling totally lack of energy. Ears n throat seem infected. No gd. Took it easy with plenty of slp to recover fr the Slight Flu.

Sun: 27 k in 1hr 47 mins.

To say the truth, I didnt feel the "bounce" at the start. It wasnt looking too gd but I decided to still gun for it. Plan was to do 41mins for the 1st 10k and cut down to 4min/km pace. However, Lex n I hit it hard from the start. 1st 8km was covered in 30:30. the first 4k would have been faster as we slowed.

I couldnt keep up with lex with about 3k to the U turn point. Struggling. When I checked into the toilet. My temp was unbelievable. DEHYDRATION.......... I ducked into the basin to cool myself down with the water and drank alot. the next water 2-3k away, I did the same.

It did relieve my condition as I was able to run properly. Covering good ground I guess. But after awhile, it was the same struggles away. However, thanks to Lex's sis n bro-in law, they have some water point that save me.

It was really getting rather bad as I struggled through.

Lay in bed for a gd 3 hrs after the run, with the body temp still running high. Timing wise was still ok , consider the pit stops that I took.

This has been a hard week. 110 -120 km.

Not peaking time yet, Just hammering my body into shape.
