For the first time in ages, I enjoyed my rest day. Usually, I’m too restless or worried that I’m falling behind in my training plan. Considering my recent hiatus due to a sinus infection, I’d expected to go half crazy today. I think I’m still basking in the glow of yesterday’s bike ride and anticipating the glow I expect to get from doing Splash & Dash tomorrow.
Splash & Dash counts as an aquathlon with USA Triathlon, the governing body of various multisports. The typical aquathlon contains running, swimming, and more running, but S&D is just swimming and running. The aquathlon I’ll race in Budapest will be 2.5K of running, 1K of swimming, and another 2.5K of running. Tomorrow, I’ll swim 750 meters and run 3K (1.86 miles), so it’s a short aquathlon.
In Budapest, I don’t have a clue as to whether we’ll wear wetsuits for the aquathlon or not. I think it would be very difficult to jam one’s sweaty, post-run self into a skin-tight wetsuit and then strip it off for the second part of the run. I certainly plan to use a wetsuit for the triathlon because the swim comes first in the cool of the morning. Oh, well. Maybe all will become clear later on.
Training log: No real training – only an hour of senior stretching, aerobics, and strength training.
Motivation log: Continuing to absorb “Talent Is Overrated.” Good book!
