Week 1 - Day 4

Training

Planned: 60 minute swim (E3), 30 minute swim (E?) 
Actual: Completed the 30 minute run, 3.5m, 149bpm, 8'39, felt like I was really sucking wind. 20'C, 83% humidity, but still felt it. Could be low on carbohydrates. As for the swim, I planned earlier in the week to push it to Friday morning. I have an extra day off (EDO) - get one every month. Pool will be empty tomorrow, and I can get a good workout in without dodging people treading water in the lanes.  

Nutrition

Actuals: 1921kcal, 52g fat, 197g carb, 161g protein. 24.5% 41% 33.5%

Notes: Shredded Wheat with Bran and Skim Milk, 2x Sugar for Coffee, 2x Dairyland 1% cottage cheese, 12 oz steak, banana, 2x plain extra lean compliments hamburgers with only keg BBQ sauce, and a bowl of Smart Pop popcorn. High in protein, but also too high in fat (steak was half of it, and way too much saturated fat.) Can see dropping a few pounds - would like to drop 7-ish from where I'm at. I raced at 162-164 last time, and wouldn't mind seeing if a few extra pounds off of the frame helps my speed.

Other

Mood: Tired today, maybe not enough carbohydrates in my diet. Would really like some that come in brown bottles, but I'm training... Busy, last day in the office until June 10th. You'd think I was leaving for years - that said, it's nice to be needed. :-)

Weight: 169.0, and really feeling it tonight on the run. Legs felt like they weighed a tonne (and based on the scale, they might have.)
