Finally got something done!!

I was picked up from the house this morning at 06:30 to go to Charlotte for a meeting so I could not work out this morning. I am planning to go ride with the group tonight but I plan to stay away from the front pack. It is just too close to the ironman for me to risk going down in a big pack. Yeah, I can still go down but when we are riding along at 30mph and on some bumpy roads anything can happen so I am not going to risk it this week and next.

I did find out that the location of my swim practice has changed. We are now on the summer schedule and swim Monday and Wednesday in an outdoor pool at night. I was going to attend last night and headed over, on my way it started pouring raining with hail mixed in. It was crazy!! They say it might do the same tonight but I hope not. I need to ride!! If it is going to do something, hopefully it lets me know early so I can jump on the trainer!!

Got up to go to swim practice this morning and no one showed up!! I must have missed a memo. The way the pool is where we swim, unless the instructor shows up with the key we only have access to the locker room and cannot get to the pool so no swim!! That sucks, I could have been sleeping!!

Hillier ride than I was anticipating. I thought this was a taper!! I am sure this week will really start to feel like it.

Good Luck GeezerJock on your Pactour across the US!! That is awesome!!!

Long Run. It might have been a little further than 14 but oh well!! BTW, it was hot out there!

Sport
  • Yard Work
  • 45m

Trimming might have to wait until tomorrow!!

Found out a friend of mine just ran a 2:34 at the Rock N Roll marathon in San Diego!!! That's smoking for an american!! I did not get a chance to workout yesterday b/c I had to go out of town for work and I was just beat after I got back. I did get my run in today and it felt awesome. Long bike tomorrow!!

I said goodbye to my bike today........see you in Idaho in a couple of weeks!!!

June 8

Don't Ask......I'm a wimp and a slacker!!

June 7

Swim
  • 1h 15m
  • 3000.00 yards
  • 02m 30s /100 yards

A lot of 25 sprints today....they hurt!!

Going to the ballgame tonight with people at work so I probably will not have time to do anything else!! The swim this morning was tiring though. I was definitely sucking wind. BTW, you can really tell had bad you are at swimming when you do 25 sprints next to a good swimmer......it's embarrassing!!

June 6

Run
  • 55m 49s
  • 6.60 miles
  • 08m 27s /Mi

Recovery Run

The run felt pretty good today. I mean my legs were full of lactic acid b/c of the bike ride last night but they seemed energized. I just ran on feel and did not even look at my heart rate. It ended up being about where I thought it would be. I don't think I will do anything tonight and will try to swim in the morning!!
The ride last night was tough, those guys hammer!! A couple of more rides and I should stop getting dropped, but right now I do not have the interval work to keep my heart rate that high for extended periods of time!!!
I had my first dream about the ironman last night......that was weird. I think I am starting to get nervous. In my dream I finished in 12:01:21. Not too bad!!
