Bike Breakdown

Most of my workouts now kind of feel like I am going through the motions. I spend most of the time thinking about how I will do certain things under competition conditions. So I think that is a good thing, my body is ready and now I am getting my head into it.
Tuesday was a day off that was unplanned. My run at lunch got cancelled because of an issue at work that required me to be at the plant. No problem, I still need to work to pay for my hobby so if they need me here I better be here!
When I got home in the evening my plan called for an easy 1 hour bike ride. Having missed my lunch workout I thought I could do a brick and make up for it. Unfortunately once I got on the bike I noticed some real nasty noise coming from my crank. After taking the bike off the trainer and checking things out it looks like I have some bad bearings. Great! Now I had to get my Cervelo down, and get it prepared to go on the trainer for a little while. That took some time as I had to move over the electronics from the road bike to the tri-bike. Then I had an issue with my tire rubbing and had to make some other adjustments. Finally it was ready to go......but I wasn't and that is why it ended up as a day off!
Yesterday I did 2,400 metres in the pool in a little over 50 minutes. The swimming is in fine shape right now. No blazing speed, but a good strong stroke and I am very comfortable in the water.
The evening was a 12 mile easy run, which felt harder than it was. It was over a lot of different terrain and conditions which seemed to take it's toll on my legs and joints. I'm feeling a little better this morning, but I sure was in some discomfort last night.
It is the Easter weekend coming up and I am looking forward to our University student coming home for a long weekend. It will be nice to have the kids around for a couple of days.
Have a great day!
