A good week

So what do I do for training? Well, at this point the plan I'm following typically calls for 3 swims, 4 bikes, and 4 runs a week, which is how this past week worked out. I try to stay up with the bikes and the runs, but if I have to cut something out it is probably going to be the swim. So this week I only got two swims in. I do find it interesting that considering the proportion that each event takes during a triathlon, how much emphasis is placed on the swim. If you break it down, training plans call for a whole lot more swim time, considering how much time the swim takes compared to the bike and the run. So that's my rational explanation on why the swim gets less of my attention, but in reality I just stink at swimming and I'm looking for any reason to stay out of the pool! Well, I really don't mind swimming that much, but it is discouraging to have mature ladies, young studs, and even rubber duckies pass me in the pool! This week may be a little more difficult, as tennis has started in earnest, and for those of you who don't know, I coach the boy's varsity tennis team. Next week is going to be the real challenge, with three matches set for the week. With two-a-day workouts, finding time is an issue. I'll let you know how it goes.
