Week 16 was an easy week with a bit more swimming than I was expecting and a longggg bike ride to finish it up today. I had three days of back to back swims, that got really monotonous and I was happy on the last day that there would be no more for the rest of the week. I also had three days of back to back running, that really got the legs tight by the last day and I as it was a recovery 30 minute easy run, I decided to go with a run/walk so my calves wouldn't have a chance to cramp up. Today I had planned for a 2hr cycling session on the trainer, I wasn't able to get the whole workout in but I did get almost the whole way, 1hr 45min was my total time, at a 17mph pace. That needs to increase to about 19mph before race day.
