So week 1 is in the books. Overall an OK week. Weather is colder this year making training a bit more difficult. I prefer to train outdoors as much as possible, especially on the run. I would say unofficially it has been about 10 degrees below average. Upcoming week will start off a little warmer but rain is in the forecast for mid week.
Managed to get all my training sessions in, always a week 1 goal, but had to cut a strength session a little short and one swim a little short due to some scheduling. Sunday's long ride was the coldest ride I have ever done (38 degrees 15 mph wind not including wind chill from riding). Simply put it was miserable. It was 5 hours after my ride before I could put my right hand in water any warmer than luke warm without it feeling like it was on fire. I first noticed this when I got in the shower after my ride. I checked the water temp with that hand and it felt warm so I jumped in the shower and YIKES, the water was ice cold, yet my right (not my left) hand thought it was hot. Couldn't put my right hand under the water at all once the shower warmed up. I have had this before, but always on my feet, never my hand and certainly not just one hand. Even as I am typing this the next morning my right hand is considerably colder than my left, weird.
Training totals for the week were:
Bike:
7h 17m - 135 Mi
Run:
4h 30m 07s - 38.29 Mi
Swim:
1h 06m - 3750 Yd
Strength:
2h 25m
Overall assessment for the week: My bike fitness is in the dumper.
