Preparing for the Singapore Triathlon: Day 5

This will be an important couple of days for my preparation.  Although it is early in the training period, it is after about 4 to 5 days that my willpower starts to wain.

This morning I kicked off with a breakfast of beef rissoles and a 2 egg omelet, one yolk removed.  This was preceded by an early morning cup of coffee. 

At 7:30 I set off to the pool.  I know this seems late but surprisingly to me, people in Singapore don't start their day particularly early.   Swim Coach Louise Tan runs her sessions from 8:00 am to 9:00 am.  Work office hour officially start between 9:00 am and 10:00 am.  There is a deal of flexibility here.  People who start work after 9:00 am generally work beyond 6:00 pm.

Anyway, back to the pool session.

400 m warm up (Various Drills)

4 X 100 m on 2:20
3 X 100 m on 2:15
2 X 100 m on 2:10
1 X 100 m on 2:05

Fins

2 X 50 m FS Kick
4 X 50 m BF Kick
4 X 50 m 1 arm BF drill
4 X 50 m combination 1 arm X 2 with 2 Arm BF (3 strokes of each in rotation)
1 X 50 m BF

300 m Hypoxic warm down

Total for the session 2500 m.

Felt the burn in the shoulders long after the session was finished.

With the session over I west off for work.  Picked up an Egg white, cheese and grilled capsicum wrap from Starbucks and jumped into work at the office.

Lunch found me back in my favourite Chicken joint.  Today the menu included Satay chicken with stir fry vegetables.

I had a cup cake for afternoon tea and dinner consisted of Thai Red Chicken Curry.

To bed early and ready for a run tomorrow.
