Good swim. Although I would have rather been at the quarry, it was a good hard workout. I haven't done a 300 kick set in weeks and weeks. Felt good to push hard, and come in on the 1:36 each time.
Ran with Mike - did the long loop. It was hot. Even Mike was complaining.
OK, this is going to be my second-biggest week in terms of volume for all of IM training.
BRING IT!!!!

Swim clinic. Drills on entering in a mass start, rounding buoys and exiting to the beach. Very helpful!
Did YOU have a good workout today? *I* had a good workout today!
Awesome course preview day.
Swim clinic in Lake Erie.
Bike - two loops of course. My "B Group" got all excited and went too fast. Most were doing only one loop anyway. I quickly let myself get dropped and did the majority of the ride alone. The entire second loop I was completely alone. I'm very proud to have been able to do that. The wind really picked up on the second loop.
Then I did a little transition run - 2 miles. I had to slow myself down. My pace off the bike was 9/min/mi.
Then I had the most enormous sandwich ever. A cheeseburger with a fried egg and bacon on it. I can't believe I ate that.
Then drove back home. Very pleased with my day overall. Felt good after the bike. Last time I felt miserable. Went slightly faster, too, which is way faster considering I drafted the whole time last ride.

Pace for the first 1:22 was hard. Then rode with Beth to her house. Then did laps of Drexel/Cassady to get up to my required time. Just 4 on the ride today. Good group. I was riding next to Beth sometimes and felt comfortable with the cornering.
Ran by myself. Didn't have a run scheduled today, but I don't want so many days off running before my 2:30 run this weekend. Felt good. Went out fast (8:08) without realizing it, and toned it down some.
