I am feeling very fatigued this evening.  I did three workouts today. My coach didn’t schedule me for a triple workout day; it just turned into one.

My coach scheduled me for a swim and a run today.  It was a project in our garden, that turned my day into a triple workout day.  Although not a typical workout for triathlon, moving and spreading six yards of mulch, is very much a workout.

Spreading that mulch took my wife and I about five hours to complete.  We took lots of mini breaks, because it was very hot (real feel over 100’F).  We also had breaks late afternoon, when a couple of small thunderstorms passed through. Still, despite the breaks, it was hard work.

So I had a swim, mulch, run day.  We swam first thing this morning, did the mulching, and as evening rolled around, it was time for my run.  I seriously considered not doing the run.  I didn’t want to put myself in a hole for upcoming workouts.  Tomorrow however, is a lighter day from a workout perspective, so I made the decision to go run.

The run was hard and I got very hot.  I am glad that I went however, because I was pleased with how my body responded.  It was one of my better interval runs of the year.

It therefore turned out to be an unusual workout day, but a good one.  The garden looks great. and I feel happy with my training.  Have you ever done something equally crazy?
