Week 1 is in the books and 18 more to go! Here is my week by the numbers: 8 workouts (2 of each sport, plus strength). 6+ hours. 378 TSS. One run on minimal sleep. One bike ride rained out, but moved to trainer. I increased my fitness level to 29, a +5 ramp up, which is well within the sustainable range. My risk & compliance friends will get a kick out of the fact that TrainingPeaks grades my compliance to my training plan each week.
It was actually a pretty good week. I got all my workouts done, when planned, and for most part at the correct intensities. Getting back into pool and on the bike went much smoother than I anticipated, but trying to hold back on my runs to stay in Zone 1 when I needed to ended up being very challenging.
I feel appropriately tired but not exhausted, but definitely need to work on getting more and better sleep, which is normally not a problem. Some of that is in my control and some not.
Overall great week! Ready for Week 2.
