Hey BT...another lovely week in the neighborhood!

5:00am:  5X5 strength training

Later:  hiking with the doggies.  I guess today is sort of a rest day!

Robert and David...loving the St. George chatter!  26 days!  That bike climb through Snow Canyon is tough--but so beautiful!  My goal is somewhere between 6:30-6:45.  My previous best was 6:53, but I'm going in better trained this time so I think I can beat that.

Have a great day all...can definitely tell the tri race season is ramping up!

That sounds like a great "rest" day--think you've definitely earned it!

3300m of swimming here at 6AM. Wasn't really going all that fast, but I did 59 1/2 minutes of swimming in 65 minutes total workout. That's called pretty much NO break between sets. (Admittedly, they were mostly distance sets!) Take that, you HS kids who spend forever hanging on the wall and chatting!

My training is definitely ramping up--I was so tired last night that I failed to notice that somehow in the middle of the night one of the toilet tanks cracked and began leaking water all over the floor. Kept waking up briefly and thinking, "Oh, how nice, it's raining, maybe it will cool things off a bit," rolling over, and going back to sleep. Woke up at 5 and realized it didn't actually sound like rain at all, and discovered the flooded bathroom. Ugh!

After a couple long training days I nearly bailed on my workout this morning but somehow managed to get my rear end out the door for an ez paced recovery run of 45 minutes.  Tonight I need to go to HS award ceremonies for my son, so probably no swim.  We'll see.  Yep Kim, St George is definitely approaching.  I look forward to seeing more of the Snow Canyon.  Last year all I saw was rain pelting me the entire way up.    Here's to a dry climb.

Easy 5 mile run this morning since I had a race yesterday. Finished 3rd in my age group out of 12 people. Not bad since I was coming off of an injury and first race since 2015. I still have some work ahead of me to get back in top shape.

Have a great day!

2,600yd swim workout. Playing with stroke mechanics, gliding long, short and choppy, somewhere in the middle, adjusting muscle tensions, finding the sweet spot then reinforcing it, catch up drills, pull buoys, kick sets. Good old fashioned training drills.

After this weekend I am sore and tired. Dropped the bike wheels off at the bike shop to get trued, bearings cleaned, greased and adjusted. Only got a couple more weekends to get in some good brick workouts before SG.

Speaking of SG, would love to start a thread and see if we can get us members together to meet up on Friday. Would be awesome to meet everyone in person. Want to do the same for my California Triathlon club as we have several members going as well.
