Here's what happened last week:
If you look at the weekly average of 16.6 hours and assume I will take off a full week (LOL like I have ever done that in the last 15 years), so multiply by 51 that's an 847 hour training year. The fuck (TF (tm)--I've stopped using the W or What since it's a WOT (Waste Of Time)). It's not like Joanna is pushing me that much farther than I would have pushed myself in terms of volume--my version of ATP had me at even more (and I bet she matches it hour for hour!!!)--it's just a matter of where/when the time comes. Make no bones about it--I am getting in some serious quality time--this is not all LSD shit.
FYI, when I get to a point where I've been training a lot for awhile, my potty mouth gets even worse than usual. I am just in that mode now, if you don't like it--fuck off.
This week promises to be quite challenging. It includes 12.5 hours of biking, if I get it all in. Even if all of it was LSD, that is still a lot of fucking biking. Not like I am taking off from swimming (although only 2 swims this week) or running (um...5.5 hours), so this is aggressive, hardcore fucking training. Let's fucking see how many fucking times I can say fucking in one fucking sentence. OK, that was probably not a PR--I'll work on it!
That's all I have time to write. I am sure a few people are still in a bit of shock after my last post--you know it's OK to ask me about my life and what happened to me. I have never felt like I shouldn't talk about it--it's just that while people seem OK asking about someone's illness or other misfortune, talking about violence is difficult. For me, too. But it's in the sharing of the good and the bad that we help one another, right? One question I'm sure some people have is do I ever channel that energy I had during a race? The answer is NO. I do have an extreme amount of mental toughness, I think, but I know that channeling anything negative is a huge WOT for me, and is not conducive to a flow experience. Anger is an emotion that is best utilized in the moment of its experience and then let go. I work very hard to not be an angry person, as I have some very good poor examples in my family!
On that note, time to go run, and have a wonderful week!
