The Week that was June 30th - July 6th

So this was the 2nd week of the first build for ChesapeakeMan.  The key workouts for most weeks are the long run and the long ride, with a consistent swim set too, this week was no different.  It turned out that I didn't time for a long run so that was pushed to the first day of next week.  The biking week turned out awesome with the July 4th holiday enabling a good midweek distance ride.  The focus until the end of July is consistent workouts and building volume again.

Weather wise this week was tough....the Derecho storm knocked out power for 4 days, so it was tough to sleep in the heat and motivation to train was a little lacking!
