Rest day!

     HAPPY REST DAY!!! Fridays are normally my rest day along with Mondays. I know most of you are saying a triathlete only working out 5 days a week? The answer is no I really only have one rest day and that is Mondays, Fridays I spend my time playing Underwater Hockey using it as an "active recovery" workout. I believe that taking a day off training and doing something else is almost essential for any athlete. We all love swimming, biking, and running, but its good to break the cycle and do something else. This is more of a mental break more than anything, just to be able to workout, not think about my heart rate zone, what is my training partner doing right now? What is everyone else in my age group doing right now? This active recovery is basically time for me to punch out and do something active I love doing and im not worried about the outcome necessarily, but just having fun. I highly recommend an active rest day to everyone no matter what sport you play, simply to take a mental break from training.
