Weekly Summary (Aug 6 - 12) Swim Focus

The good
- swim a lot, almost hit 10 km (9.65 km), worked out the left stroke
- a long run that last more than 2 hour (it was only 20 min more but I haven't done one for a long time)

The bad
- traffic jam, lack of sleep + stress from Church activities made me bail out exercise on thurs
- volume is a lot less but felt just as hard (possibily cumulated from last week's run focus)
- biked too hard with Darren on Aug 5th and by myself on 6th

This week is bike focus. All my energy is focus on preparation for the training and resting. Yesterday after coming from the pool at night, I ate my dinner and prep my lunch at the same time. Did my devotions. Then hit the sack at 9:30 pm. A family's friend dropped by to drop off a wedding invitation. I did what a normal tri person would do. I wore ear plugs.

I still need more rest. Legs are still heavy. Tomorrow is one of my long rides (YAY).

Sleep and stress free mind are crucial. I am not thinking about any decision until next week. A sister from the church asked me about doing something for a brother, I told her to ask me next week. Any obligation that I need to do? Wait until next week. Keep the mind free from any distractions....
