couldn't stay away from carbs, which made me want to ride more

 

Saturday:

 

found myself at the gym without having too many calories after a decent ride. i could hardly pick up my weights, but it was fine after i got some calories

 

swimming was fast and fun, i swear my new lap suit makes me swim better

 

i think i need a full on rest day. my biking was pretty damn good, but i wasn't as vicious as i usually am

 

i love seeing other cyclists out in the middle of nowhere, love that head nod

 

i got to work more abs days into my drill. i can really feel how they support me on the bike and running.

i know. don't ya just bulk bins ?

 

shorter swim session than i wanted today cuz my goggles fell apart and it took a while to put them back together and i couldnt find a way to get back into that chilly water again.

 

asked a guy if i could work in with him on the calf press. he was like, oh absolutely! he watched me jack his 90 up to 270... then he found something else to do.

 

ate a lot of carbs today on top of an otherwise usual day

Muchas gracias for the support, it's hard for me to get used to ever being stronger or faster than a guy. it was pretty funny!

Wednesday-

my treadmill had stale air blowing on it, i had to sidestep 3 times and fan myself some fresh air... i might have been being a baby or dramatic, idk, it just felt gross and i didnt want to throw up. that gym has a reputation with a few people i've talked to for awful air around the treadmills, so i know it's not just me though. but idk if i can say i went faster today cuz i sidestepped those 3 times, total prob a 60 secs.
