It was a brick alright

Off of 7 hours sleep, up at 4:30 AM. Core work then on the bike for an hour. I had no trouble hitting my zones on the bike. It is my experience that when I am tired I can get a high heart rate quite easily. My legs felt great on the bike but I was struggling with my stomach a bit, not sure why.

Off the bike, I went out for a 30 minute interval run. My leg felt great, I was moving very well (of course the pleasant temperatures helped). By my fifth and final interval I caved in to the nausea that was nipping at my heels and spent the final 6 minutes at a zone 3 tempo run. Obviously, I am still inching my way back.

Tomorrow, back in the pool. Hopefully it is not as frigid as it was last evening.
