Triathlon Training: Week 5

This week is not going to follow the training calendar due to schedule conflicts. The goal is to try to do activities similar to the previous week and just do what we can, when we can. Monday Actual: Tumbling (~1 hour) Comments: Really worked my quads and they're letting me know about it. Definitely seeing some small improvements to my tumbling which is exciting. Also, started learning a new skill: an aerial (a cartwheel with no hands). June will be our last month taking tumbling classes after almost three years. The gym or rather the management of the gym we go to has handled several situations poorly and we have decided it's just time to move on. Not sure if we'll get back into tumbling somewhere else eventually but for now we are not going to continue. Tuesday Actual: OFF Comments: My muscles are definitely sore after the workout from tumbling. I'm thinking now that training for this triathlon is actually easier than trying to be a gymnast at my age. At least triathlon training has yielded very little pain so far! Wednesday Actual: OFF Comments: I did lots of laundry if that counts for anything. :) Walking is getting easier now but WOW! I must've done a super workout at tumbling because my quads have been so angry. Thursday Actual: OFF Friday Actual: OFF Saturday Actual: ~10 hours of walking/standing Comments: We went to the best roller coaster park in the world: Cedar Point in Sandusky, OH. Sunday Actual: OFF Overal Thoughts: I hope next week goes better than I'm expecting! The training intensity is getting kicked up a notch.
