This week has been completely lost to training. Training Peaks looks like a bloody mess. The only redeeming thing is that it was the second week post-marathon and it's six months until Ironman Louisville.

Monday I wasn't feeling too hot...and David had been sick since Sunday afternoon. By afternoon I was down for the count. Tuesday evening it was diagnosed as Influenza A. Yay for me!
Here's the rundown:
Monday - Went to the pool after lunch and tried to do my workout even though I wasn't feeling great. I was hoping it was just second-week post marathon blahs. I got through the 4100 yards with the help of fins for the parts that weren't aiming for specific times. I could not get faster as I was supposed to on 100s. But I finished.
Tuesday - nada. Couch surfing. It was supposed to be my first run post-marathon. Nope.
Wednesday - nada. More couch surfing. Swim and bike went up in flames of TP red.
Thursday - my fever broke overnight and so I went for a maximum 30 minute walk or run in the warm sun. I did all 30 min at 3:1 run walk (except some extra walking warm up and cool down). 2.25 miles.
Friday - I'm now 24+ hours post fever and can go out in public. I went to Ft. Ben to get in the pool. No plans to do the workout, just swim a straight mile. Done. Not fast. 1,750 yards.
Saturday - ran the idea past coach and he thought it sounded good - 1 hour bike and 1 hour run/walk, 1 each day this weekend. The hourly forecast looked miserable and I didn't need to risk pneumonia so I rode inside on the trainer in the morning, riding multiple loops of the bike course for my tri in two weeks. Sure enough in the afternoon the weather cleared and I could have ridden outside. SMH. 15.2 miles of riding done though.
Sunday - run/walk at Eagle Creek on the 8K course, 1 hour. 5 miles. Nice run and it didn't even rain. Came home and did a flexibility/mobility workout while drinking my Starbucks.
