Friday, I went to the NAT to do my swim and the pool was closed. So, I just said screw it and I decided that I would do my first OWS. It was definitely a lot tougher so I am glad that I started sooner. The water temp was about 57 degrees and the water was so green it looked like lettuce. Ironically, two of my classmates were there right before I got in the water so I got some awesome pictures thanks to them.
Sunday - I did another OWS but this time on the IM course infront of the monona terrace. It was the nicest water I found yet. After that, I ran for 2 hours covering about 16 miles. For the first time since I can remember, I had to walk. I haven't had to walk since I first started training for long distances about 4 years ago. I'm hoping to look at it like a new challenge. I honestly don't know if I can actually do this which is EXACTLY why I need to do it.
The other part of this that I don't think anyone talks about is how much you EAT. Sunday, I probably have 4 dinners...including a huge breakfast (pancakes, eggs, fruit, cottage cheese), 3 brats at brat fest and corn, qdoba burrito and a sandwich later that night. I mean honestly, that is so much food!
All in all, I am proud of this passed weeks work out but am still wondering, can I really do this?
