Happy Easter!

I was planning to swim through this week and take next week as a recovery week, but the water gods conspired against me. I got pulled out of the pool during my long swim due to lightning (the 1st time this year, so I can't complain too much). Then my arms decided to go on strike for the rest of the weekend. So it was a good weekend for cross-training...

Here's how week 14 shaped up:
Mon: swim 3900 yds
Tues: swim 5100
Wed: swim 4100, 40 min abs
Thurs: swim 4900, run 5 mi
Fri: swim 11,700
Sat: rest
Sun: run 5 mi, 30 min abs
Total: swim 29,700 yds, run 10 mi, 70 min abs

Also, open water season starts next weekend for me, with the first race of the year! I thought I would post my tentative race schedule for this year:
