Hangin' Loose

AM-  Early morning swim again.  Seems we are getting better or something.  Since we finished alot ealier then I thought we would.  But I think we will still stick with going at this time.  Since I believe they will be getting longer and we need to avoid that class at 5:45. Did 200 WU 4 x 25, 4 x 75, 2 x 100 with 20 RI then 200 CD.  Only felt like once I almost drowned myself in the WU.  Got to remember to breath only when my heads out of the water.:)  Felt like I took in alot less water today too.  My tummy is feeling much better today after the swim since I didn't swallow much if any.  TT 40ish

Did a time trail ride.  With a 15 min warm-up and then 30 mins on a flat road.  And 5 mins cooldown.  Was kind of tough.  I was able to keep right around a 20.1-2 speed for the ride and 85 cadance.  I think my av watt was 210 range and like 163 av heart rate.  Tons of stats on that computrainer.  Just not sure what all of it really matters or not.  My legs were still a bit sore and tender bottom starting out.  Good ride overall.

Ran after work today.  Weather wasn't to bad.  Shorts and a shirt.  Had a strong South wind so first mile was with a tailwind.  Ran with my wife the first mile and then finished up with my 4 mile uphill downhill loop.  Feeling really good with the last mile.  Pushed it and was able to stay relaxed.  Good to feel fast again even if it was for only a mile.:)

Early morning swim got to love it.  Making some good progress it would seem.  Today is 400 WU 7 x 100 with 15 RI and then 100 CD.  Wow that was tough but very cool.  Since it was like just last week I did my first 100.  The last 2 were tough though.  And the last one about 20yards into it started to get a foot cramp.  Stayed relaxed and kept going.  Was good to get that one done.  This was a big confidence boost swim.  Just really slow it seems still.  But getting in the distance.

Early morning run.  55 degrees with a breezy from the south.  So just about perfect that way.  Just getting in more base miles.

Went for a ride out in some windy weather.  Was kind of crazy for the first half of the ride.  Since it was into a headwind.  Normally we hit around 17+ going out.  We were struggling to keep 12.  And when a big gust would hit it would reduce us to 10.  So it was a longer for say ride for the distance.  But still a very good ride.  Wish I could of been out there longer.  But another 20+ miler and 1 1/2 hr ride is still good.  Need about 5 times more of that for the race.
