Last week was a rollercoaster of unexpected events. An unfortunate swimming accident left me with an infection, leading to an unexpected detour from my training plan. Despite the setbacks, I managed to squeeze in a Hyrox session and a 5k run. Let’s dive into the details of my week and what lies ahead.

The Unexpected Twist

• Swimming Accident: Last week, I faced an unexpected hurdle when a swimming mishap resulted in an infection. I found myself spending a total of 8 hours over two days in the accident and emergency department. Not exactly the way I had envisioned my training week!

Adaptation and Recovery

• Hyrox Session: Despite the challenges, I rallied on Friday morning for a Hyrox session. The adrenaline rush and camaraderie with fellow athletes helped lift my spirits.
• 5k Run: On Saturday, I laced up my running shoes and hit the pavement for a 5k run. It felt good to be back in motion, even if it was a shorter distance than I had initially planned.

The Restful Week

• Benefits of Rest: Sometimes, our bodies need a break more than we realize. This unplanned rest week allowed me to recover, recharge, and reflect. I’m hopeful that the rest will pay off in the coming weeks.
