July 14

Last day at work.  Felt weird bringing all my personal belongings into the car.  A few other co-workers are taking me out to lunch again today.  Hope to get in an OW swim later this afternoon.

Bike
  • 31m
  • 10.11 miles
  • 19.57 Mi/hr

Was supposed to be an easy ride in small chain.  Ended up being a ride where I just went out and enjoyed myself on the bike.  Part of that included not worrying about pace.  Flat course.  Was surprised when I got done with the ride and it ended up being 19.6 mph.  Something to say about relaxation and enjoyment.

Had dinner with Brett (UTTriman), his wife & my wife.  He's in town for the Lifetime Fitness Tri.  Ate WAY TOO MUCH (appetizers, steak), and then had ice cream when I got home.  My tummy hurts...LIFETIME FITNESS TRI IN 2 DAYS...96 degrees...

Run
  • 20m
  • 2.41 miles
  • 08m 18s /Mi
Quick, fairly easy paced run this morning.  RPE 4-5.  2.4 miles in 20 min (8:18 pace).  Wife is away with my daughter at a church camp.  So us boys are eating leftovers and lots of ice cream.  I'm going to kind of be in 'forced' taper before this Saturday's race.  Only critical day will be Friday.  Wanted to get in a relaxed 1332 yd (1200m) open water day before the race.  3 more days until Lifetime Fitness Tri...96 degrees...

July 11

Can I just go hide under a rock?  Life is uber-busy.  It would have been nice to take a week off before starting my new job...no workout this morning.  Slept in...needed it...Lifetime Fitness Tri in 4 days...98 degrees...102 degrees...96 degrees...

Bike
  • 31m 15s
  • 9.63 miles
  • 18.49 Mi/hr
Nice easy ride.  RPE 5-6.  Getting colder in the morning--59 degrees, threw on a Body Armor vest underneath cycling jersey.  18.5 mph...

Off day!

Swim
  • 1h 15m
  • 1566.00 yards
  • -----
OW swim at Nokomis at 6:45am.  Quite a few people there.  Probably up to 12 people there at peak, practicing OWSs for Lifetime.  3 lengths warm-up (260 yds).  Met up with Steve and Terry.  They did 4 laps continous (they're thinking buoy to buoy is a 100 yds).  6 x 87 yds on 30 sec (between 2:43 and 3:09, 100 yds buoy to buoy WOULD make sense with these times).  3 lengths (260 yds) drills--swimming 'downhill', reaching, shoulder to ear.  3 x 87 yds.  3 lengths (260 yds) cooldown.
