Overtraining?

Even though it has been a week since I have written, I have been hard at work, in the pool, on the bike and on the road. Hard at work to the point where I am worried that I may just be overtraining.

This week's regime:
Saturday (7/5): biked 25 miles of steep hills on the bike
Sunday (7/6): tried to run 8-9 miles...but it was the middle of a hot afternoon, so I ran 1. :(
Monday (7/7): 2700 meters in the pool, with my hardest set being 8x100s on the 2:00. Those really pushed my heart rate up!
Tuesday (7/8): a brick. 1:45 on the bike (23.4 miles) and 28 minutes running
Wednesday (7/9): 2500 meter in the pool. Distance set--developed some mental toughness on that 800!
Thursday (7/10): 45 minutes run, 5 miles.
Friday (7/11): taking off!
Saturday (7/12): RACE DAY!

Okay, so all those details are probably unnecessary, but for my own sanity I needed to write them down. I have been sleeping REALLY badly. I fall asleep quickly, but then toss and turn alot during the night. I never feel rested and my body is fatigued a lot. The first two miles of my run today were kind of a struggle (which showed in my splits!). I feel like Google is telling me: You are overtraining! I am trying to listen, but not being very good about it. I had started the run tonight going easy. By the 15 minute mark, I found myself checking my watch, wondering what my pace was. My negative split for the last half of the run tells me I wasn't very good about keeping this run 'easy'. Sigh. Why I am I so stubborn?!!?

More interestingly, Saturday is race day. I'm pretty jazzed about it. Nervous, but in a good way. It will be really nice to work out the (some) kinks of transition out now, so I will be smoother and smarter for the Oshkosh tri in August. The biggest draw back is that the race starts at 8 am...an hour from here. So I'll be up and on the road by 5:30 to get there in time for packet pick up, transition setup and all that fun stuff. And frankly, I'd prefer that 5:30 came only once a day.

Off to rest and recover. I started carb loading tonight with a post work snack of crackers and yummy dinner of pasta. Next update, I'll have completed my first tri!!
