I'm learning a certain 30 seconds of my day are one of the most crucial seconds for my training. I am working on a name for this time period and would have it solved except I can't come up with a name with a cool sounding acroynm. I really want it to have the letters S and T and Q.
Those thirty seconds translate into a difference between 2500 yards of valuable swiming and no swiming. This 1/2 minute of time is the difference between 1.5 hours on the bike and a big zero.
Okay...I'm sure you are just begging for the answer.
Those thirty seconds are the first thirty after my alarm goes off. It only takes me about 5 seconds to realize that it isn't a dream. It takes another 5 seconds to find the chiming phone and turn it off. Then I have about 10 seconds to decide whether there was some mistake with the alarm going off (is today my rest day?). That leaves me with 10 seconds to either get out of bed or not. If I get out of bed, then training happens. If not, well I do get another 1.5 hours of guilty lazy regretful sleep.
I don't remember ever feelin guilt, regret, and lazy if I get out of bed during the magical SQT timeframe.
