Fortnightly Review - Weeks 41 & 42

I did my first "full" training week of the year. In the first few months of the year I did some weeks where I finished everything on my plan for that week, but without swimming as the pools were closed. This time I managed the full set, swimming included. It should have been both weeks but I had some problems with my back tightening up during my third swim session in week 42 and had to cut that session in half. I did complete everything else. 

Now that I have managed to start back on yoga, weights and core work, I really need to keep that going through winter and into next season, instead of just doing some off-season work and then forgetting about it once the weather gets nice again.

I did a cross-country race, but it was strange. I did the first and last miles at 7 min/mile pace, but the middle 4 are in the 9:30-10:00 range, and I don't really understand why. The course wasn't that tough, I just seemed to settle in to a slower pace on one uphill and then couldn't shift gears for the next 4 miles.
