Yes – it’s Sunday again and once more the clock is quite a bit earlier than I want and need. In fact it’s 5 am and I am going to Harvey Cedars on Long Beach Island for the inaugural Harvey Cedars Sprint Tri.

I had my first swim coach session with Chris Draper yesterday.

This week didn’t really go as expected. After last weeks Tri I came down with tonsillitis Monday and had to get some antibiotics that made the week pretty slow with regards to training. I did feel ok on Wednesday and got on the trainer Wednesday, Thursday and Friday for some easy riding and a few runs. Stats for the week were: Time training: 2:49 hours Running: 2 sessions/6 km/29 min Cycling: 3 sessions/62 km/2:20 hours Swimming: 0 sessions
