[T-940] Pitiful performance this week

Hey Rine,

This week I fell of the bandwagon. I didn’t even do passive immersion. I was immersed in another unrelated project which took away all my time. And I wasn’t waking up early enough to fit in all my activities.

What can I say, it is what it is. I did the reps, that’s the least I can say.

I don’t have any special remedy. It’s not like time accidentally slipped away. I was aware of what I was doing when I broke through all the slots in my SM Plan. I am eager to finish this other thing I am doing by the end of this week so as not to let it carry over.

But those kinds of things will always pop up.

The only possible buffer I have in my life, as it is currently organized, is to wake up at early hours. Like, if I wake up at 5:30 AM, I can keep all the plates spinning.

Last week I managed that. This week I failed miserably. Mind you, I’m not using an alarm clock.

I even went to bed early on Sunday evening to try to get a good early start on Monday.

You know what it is perhaps? Perhaps I overdid it with cycling last weekend. Once again I rode 62 km on Saturday to my inlaws, then 62 km on Sunday on my way back. Except this time I kept the tempo up on my return trip, instead of recovering. I felt strong but the ride left me exhausted. I spent the remainder of Sunday napping and watching Youtube clips.

Perhaps the exhaustion carried over into the workweek, just to tip my sleep demands ever so slightly. As a consequence (when considered together with the other excuse mentioned above, the project I was working on) I didn’t get to do any riding during this workweek, nor any immersion, except for a little symbolic time today.

Maybe I should be more moderate about my rides and gradually build up my fitness, so as to sustain more frequent rides.

We’ll see.

Anyway, here’s the table:
