I'm pretty tired so like the previous post, I'm not proofing this for grammar and typos.
Tucson Days 4 & 5
I'm definitely feeling the results of the day after day sessions. Yesterday (Thursday) started off with a 4000 yard swim session which definitely took me out of my comfort zone. A comment that has been floating around in my head is that you have to do what everyone else is not willing to do. For me, that means many things but in regards to the pool, it means that I have to do hard drills. It wasn't my typical run of the mill swim back and forth, these were the famous "Monsy 100's" and although there were pacing guidelines, I just felt like I was swimming one pace -- FAST.

Coach: If you woke up everyday for a week and your ass hurt, would you tell anyone?
Me: Probably not.
Coach: Want to go to a training camp?
Me: Sure!

I'll warn you now, this entry probably has grammatical and spelling mistakes but I want to crank it out now before I start forgetting all of the details. Everything is moving so quickly and the days are blurring together and getting a little fuzzy.
I have to play catch-up so the detail won't be as great as it would have if the TSA didn't steal my laptop adapter. I guess that's a good place to start. I was in the airport and they decided to go through my backpack and when they returned it, unknown to me at the time, my adapter was gone. When I arrived at the hotel room and attempted to connect my laptop, I realized what had happened but it was too late. I had one overnighted to me but I didn't get back online until Tuesday night and I've already been out training for two solid days.

Over the last year, I've been slowly doing more of my own bike maintenance. It started with a simple chain and cassette swap, moved to partial disassembly when I started travelling with my bike, and recently, I've been replacing cables.
As I gradually do more maintenance, I am acquiring the necessary tools and knowledge. Some tasks are simple and others require a few tries to get it right but for the most part, everything has gone well.
