Shooting for 8miles

But falling short. I went out for a run thinking i was going to do an 8 mile run. It wasn't feeling good and today unlike most days, i just didn't feel like running. So i picked up the pace a little and did 4.73 miles in 41:56.

1500M Race Distance

The swim portion of my race is 1500M. I figured i need to make sure i can do that in the pool. Today i did it.

10x150

Group Ride 1

We swam and did 5x200. I think a few of them i lost count and did some 250s. After that we went to Lake Massabesic and took a 13.5 mile bike ride. We ended up with some city riding so the light and traffic didn't help to keep the pace and training up. I'm planning on going out this week for a 20 mile ride. I am using a mountain bike that I replaced the knobby tires with slicks. The decreased resistance and higher pressure really made a difference.

5x200
13.5 (avg. spd 12.7 mph)

Wow nice run

I have been doing most of my running after swimming (which is were it is during my triathlon) and it's been longer and slower than i feel it should be with all the work I've been doing. Today I ran and only ran.

5.59@47:58

And it felt good.

Sa-wimmin

I had a good swim today. I started with 5x100 and felt sloppy. Then i did 20x50 and got some rhythm going and it felt great. Then i did a short run. I really need to crank up the running mileage.

5x100, 20x50

Practiced the Start

The start of a triathlon is in the water with 100+ other people. We got the 8 of us in one lane (about 6ft wide) and we all started swimming and tried to grab/get by the people in front so we better know what to except come race day. I had a little fun with this drill. we did 5x100 20 sec rest and then 20x25 with 20 sec rest. Then we ran.

Here the run we did.

I'm Back and having a great time.

Had a stomach bug or food poisoning or something. (It might be all the pool water I've been drinking lately.) I didn't train Tuesday or Wednesday and i didn't feel that good today either. But i got back in the pool and my stomach felt funny the entire time but i felt good swimming. I Did a pyramid workout after warm up. 25-50-75-100-150-200 and back down w/20-30sec rest between.

Then i biked 4.25 miles to the track and did a little speed work running about 8x1 lap (1/4 mile) ave about 1:26 ish. I felt like I wasn't going that fast but working hard so I tried easing up... I don't know. This rambling is why I paint.

Last months mileage
42.24 miles less miles on the road tons more time in the pool.
