Brick Repeats and Disney

Well my pure volume week went well.  I ended it with a crazy brick repeat session of 4 rounds of 20 mile bike/ 3 mile run.  Time wasn’t my concern, but it did take over 7 hours to complete which included bathroom breaks, drink refills, etc.  This was a good workout but it if I didn’t have scheduled time off after, my training would have been hampered as it took several days to recover from. 

I got a long delay during my second round while a Williamson County sheriff deputy who was concerned for my safety issued me a $197 citation for running a stop sign.  Keep in mind I was on my bike.  She seemed happy to inform me and another cyclist that she had caught others.  It seems as though we were targeted.  To be honest the deputy would better serve herself to get on a bike instead of harassing cyclist.  To say the least she appeared a little out of shape.  I did get a laugh when she commanded me to dismount my bike.  I guess she was afraid I would try to speed away, but obviously I couldn’t out run her patrol car.  My question to her, where are they when dump trucks almost run us cyclist over.  Well my opinion of the sheriff’s department is not good.  If I go to court I wonder if they will send me to cyclist safety school. 

Last week I went to conference in Orlando then spent several days at Disney with my family.  I did not train during this week as I just wanted to spend time with my family.  I walked a total of what seemed like 50 miles and stood on my feet in long lines.  My diet consisted primarily of fast food like meal (e.g. bacon cheeseburger, French fries, and coke).  Somehow I lost 5 pounds, but my AM Crossfit WOD today took a serious performance hit.  I also ended up with some indigestion and other GI related issues that I will not describe here.  I am ready to get back on track now.

This week, I have a short training week that ends with Muddy Buddy.
