Training Shift

We've been having a rough time getting our sleep at the bachelor lair. It has been in the high 90s, and humid enough to make it feel over 100. Solution? 6000 BTU window AC. Absolute game changer. This should help me get enough rack time to actually start recovering between my workouts, rather than going on 3-4 hours of sweaty sleep a day.

Additionally, we recently acquired a coffee grinder and French press. These two items allow me to easily triple my coffee intake in a cost-effective manner, which should further aid in my recovery.

I have been waking up at 4:45 AM to run pieces with the Riverside gang. It has been nice to have company that can push the speed. I am still having some difficulty getting back up to speed in the 1x, but I am feeling better all the time. Still trying to get control of a solid, power-based rhythm.

This afternoon will be my first workout away from the water for the week, as I spend some time on the stationary bike and doing body circuits. With a heat index of nearly 110 and an air quality warning, I figure it would be a good time to head indoors.
