WOW Renee!! I'm so impressed by your efforts!! Not only did you go above and beyond on the second incline at 10%, but you included a 5th power climb at the end!! You are an olympian at heart! I'm glad you included more time in your cool-down and I'm sure you felt a tremendous rush of accomplishment afterward!! :)

Great job completing another aqua class! Knowing what your week's workouts will include is helpful in your determining how to divide your energy across your workouts. For instance, it's great that knew you were planning on completing a tough POWER workout later in the week so you could hold back a bit during your aqua class earlier in the week. You're right, you are getting more in tune with your body!!! You are rockin' this fitness thang!!

After that strength training workout, it is not uncommon to feel a little soreness in the back. As you workout with your training and focus on core work, you will find these types of incline sessions much more comfortable. I'm glad you got your 2nd workout in with your aqua class... I think these classes are extremely beneficial and very creative! I bet you're never bored! :)

First of all, congrats on completing the workout! Despite the fact that this was a tough workout, you've demonstrated that you are capable of accomplishing anything that is thrown in your direction! You should be very proud of what you have been doing over the last few weeks!!
Re: The dizziness/light-breathing... it may have been due to the spa... sometimes the heat after a tough workout might leave you a bit disoriented. I think you did the best thing in keeping yourself hydrated.

Thanks so much for the support and information. Since we are doing power drills this week I think that I will do the strength training workout today and leave out repeating the speed train session. I want to be strong and better prepared for the power drills and I think that repeating the strength training a couple of days before will help.

Actually, I would recommend doing something a bit more moderate and steady-paced (something that keeps you at RPE of 4-6). Avoid doing any interval or strength work (aka don't go above RPE7) and focus on getting a solid dose of cardio in... Usually, a light workout before a tough challenge may allow for more energy and better performance later in the week.

You should be so proud of yourself!!! I love how you are discovering new classes, trying out new types of workouts. Aqua classes have really evolved. They are very creative and challenging for any athlete. As far as swimming - there are a few others in this class who are also tracking their swim workouts. You might get a few tips from them!!

Good for you!!! It sounds like your body has been rejuvenated! Look at you doing 3 sprints in a row!!! Wa-hoo!! I liked your comments about closing your eyes this week... I also do that too (especially in my cycle classes when the room is dark). You're right, somehow closing your eyes helps to focus more. :)

It's great that you and your hubby are working out together. And remember that your 2nd workout must be a minimum of 30 minutes of straight cardio... not 10. :)

I'm sorry if I wasn't clear. I did 30 minutes on the treadmill and 30 - 45 minutes of strength training. In the time logging area I did put 1 full hour and 10 minutes. That was the entire workout.

Naima,
I agree, but I am a bit frightened to register. It is a big commitment to raise the money as well as making sure I am in the best physical condition for the race. I am praying about it now. I want to do this race for many reasons. I just need to get my head in the right place.
