On Sunday morning, I squeezed in an hour ride with some fast flats and some hard hills, before cleaning and cooking for the Super Bowl party (which starts early on the West Coast!).
The ride was good and the party was good, but by Sunday night, I was starting to feel a cold coming on. I decided to take Monday off and push my Tuesday workout to the evening and dedicate the block of 48 hours off from working out to religiously taking Zicam every 3 hours.
By Tuesday evening, Zicam and I officially declared mission accomplished: avoiding sickness without derailing my workouts for the week (I have used up my one day off though, so there's no flexibility for the rest of the week).
So last night, Kyle and I swam 1600. He's been rewriting our workouts to be a bit harder than the training book, including making the warmup a continuous 500 instead of just 250. That seemed pretty daunting to me but after about 325, the endurance athlete kicked in and I actually enjoyed the longer warmup. Some moderate 100s, faster 50s, more moderate 100s and a cool down, and the 1600 workout flew by.
