Big swimming week

Last week I swam over 15,000 metres which is the most i have ever swam in one week. I generally enjoyed it and felt pretty good. I have been doing longer distances- usually more than 3000m per swim. One swim last week was 4200 m which, again, may have been the longest swim I have ever done. I did a good tempo run workout last wednesday. doing one minute fast, one minute easy -fifteen times in a row. On Saturday, I did another one that was about an hour and twenty minutes long and two segments of running hard for 12 minutes each. I feel like my running and swimming have improved since I started being coached in February. I am not sure about my biking as I haven't been outside a whole lot yet. I did a couple of workouts on the trainor last week and then did 90 k on Sunday. it was good for the first two hours and then I died for the last hour and a half. Still, 90 k is an ambitious bike ride for April 10th on PEI. I am going to Cuba this Friday and taking my bike which I am looking forward to. I have never taken a bike on a cuba vacation before but I always see lots of people biking down there.
