Stalker in the pool

It was snowing when I got up at 6am so I was glad to be in the pool and not out on the bike or running. Half way through my swim my coach joined me for the swim. She sat directly behind me, like a stalker, enjoying the ease of drafting whereas I was making sure she noted the best timed swim I have ever had. I am sure without her presence each length would have been marginally slower so it helped motivate me to push myself.
Right now I am at the peak of my fitness and every session counts. So with the snow I switched my 2nd training session,my bike ride,for a turbo session but due to domestics,mustn't forget the family, my 1.5 hour turbo session started at 9pm. I wasn't looking forward to it but as is always the case when you don't feel like it, it was a fantastic workout.
This also followed a day of wall to wall meetings at work, yes I do work, which required my full concentration. So off to bed with no early morning training. My schedule is for a 2.5 hour run tomorrow which will have to wait until late afternoon as the temperature will be too low early morning around freezing!
