Swim - 6700 yd
Bike - :60 Spin; 0:00 Road
Run - :50 elliptical
Strength Training - 1.5 sessions (2 core) - 2 sets of 12-15 - building back to where I left off before previous taper
A dismal week of training. Didn't even get in as much as I expected, which I knew would be low due to coaching and family priorities. Leg cramp "bruise" in left calf took until late Sunday to feel normal again. Speed walked and ran through the airport Sat. night to make connecting flight. No foot/heel pain. Moving forward to a new week, with expectation that I'll be short by a couple of workouts because Team Challenge info meetings begin on Tuesday. I'll be dumping my "Monday is an Rest Day"routine for the next several months to accommodate coaching schedule. Am a firm believer in the need for rest but mine will be scattered throughout the week instead of having a straight 24-36 hours off.
Overate compared to workout level this week. Did not get on the scale. Going on 10 months straight of oral antibiotics for pouchitis (my version of ulcerative colitis). Keeps things under control but can't seem to get off of the stuff, which makes me quite unhappy. Blessed though that they allow me to do all that I do.
I'm thinking I should write up a post on muscle cramping and another on rest and recovery.
Coaching clinic and Team Challenge took a lot of time this past week. Always surprising how much planning time goes into these things. Mother's Day on Sunday, I was a bad son and husband. The day was wonderful thanks to son2 "Perfect Copy" and "Son1". Spent a nice day with Linda but my card and gift giving were pathetic.

CD 200S; both calves and 1 on the right anterior near the shin cramped as I climbed out of the pool. The left calf was strong enough to be sore and "bruised" hours later.
