AM- Went for a swim this morning for 20 mins. Short and sweet. I was able to get in some swimming strokes at the end. Went really good at first then took the fins off. Struggled with it for about 2 laps and then it started to come together. I sure haven't gotten it down. But making great progress.
I am debating about doing the Bear Lake Brawl or Utahalf on my Bday. Which is a non IM half ironman. They are on Aug 28. The one is at Bear Lake and other at Utah Lake. And both are great prices. My only concern is the swimming portion. I am sure I can get my biking up to the 56 mins and sure I can run 13.1.:) Its just the 1.2 swim. But hey I will have my wet suit to keep me afloat.:) PM- Tonights run is only a 30 min one. So decided to try a few things different for the race. Wore my racing flats without my orthotics to see how they would be without them. And had my new shoelaces in them also to see how the feel was with them. Went really well overall. Problem was that the wife went out earlier then me. And so when she told me I needed to reset the watch. I misunderstood that the watch had to have it past runs cleared. So I didn't get a accurate split going. ARGH!! And it kept beeping at me every few secs after the first mile. Did the 4 mile loop with the 2nd mile uphill and 4th downhill. Haven't ran this one for a while. But felt really good on it. Saw the first mile split at 7:15. Way faster then I wanted but thought it was fine. Headed up the hill and finished that mile at a 7:50. Which was tough and one of the fastest splits up it. I will have to check back and see if it is. Next that mile it started chirping alot. The 3rd mile was into the wind also yet was fast. I really highly doubt that I read it right when it said a 5:54 for that mile. And right close to the end of the last mile with .1 or so to go I was at a 6:09 pace. Finished it with a 28:25 and 4.02 miles. So the times dont add up to well. So I am sure of the first 2 mile splits and unclear on the last ones. So its kind of a guess. All I know though is that my feet left very light and fine without the orthos. And happy that I finished under 30 mins for the 4 miles. Mile 1 7:15 Mile 2 7:50 Mile 3 7:11 Mile 4 6:09 TT 28:25 AP 7:06
