Taking stock

It's been a busy week since Sunday on the training front and my coach and I are studying the data on my heart rate as I may be tired and need an extra days rest.  The benefit of monitoring the Key Performance Indicators, to use business jargon, is that if anything isn't performing at the optimal level then it shows up and action needs to be taken.
So tonight I came back from a group turbo session having worked very hard, I couldn't get my heart rate high enough.  Tomorrow is meant to be an easy day with only a weights session and a core session but it may be skipped if my coach instructs me to rest.  One of the problems triathletes suffer from is being forced to rest when you're not injured but you always have to consider the goal and take the right action so that it isn't endangered.  I'll let you know what is decided.
