plan B

following the modified im training plan, i biked easy on monday and today for 1:45 and :30...and now both sides of my sit-bones hurt. !#@$&&^%$@! i wish i could just swim for the next few months and just forget about im. i feel like i've been giving myself a lot of pressure to get ready for imlp and realized that there is not much reason to. i signed up for it b/c A was going to do it so we would get to train together. other than swallowing a lot of $ (i think if i didn't do this race, the total amount of money spent on unstarted races would be up to $1000), i don't think i'll lose a lot by not doing it. i don't know.. trying to be realistic here. there is a lot to say for positive thinking but i think i would feel a lot better if i came up w/ a plan B. at this point a pubic bone replacement sounds like a great option...

so here is plan B: go up to the first 10 weeks of base phase and see how i feel. if i really don't feel 100% ok then swim a ton (b/c i love it!) and deal w/ feeling disappointed and move on. i can sign up again for another im when i'm ready. but i'm not giving up yet!

today's swim w/ tnya was fun (as always), but a little crowded. we had a couple 100's on 1:35 and i hit under them but was not so excited b/c of the drafting. it is a little confusing to swim with some people who start out super fast and then suddenly fade. i noticed that the guys started out leading the lane and by the end of practice, all of the girls were in front. go girls!
