what's on tap for today ?

The doctors. I have the flu woohoo!

Awesome.

6 fast run, then a mile swim. (I was going to ride 15 before the run, but Jimmy Buffet kept on playing encores last night at Manassas and we just weren't leaving till he did, so I posered this morning and slept in.)

And I am tapering, sort of, for Nation's. But Eagleman training starts next Monday, so I gotta get me some of that 14 hour training week....

for 06/10 ?? that's a long time to train !

yeah... ain't life grand?!

nothing- watched my sons 3 baseball games- but I do have a 5k in the morning-does that count?

Did my second-ever tri today, and this was my first oly/intl distance - I loved it!  St Croix Valley Tri in Hudson, WI.  We had great weather, and it was a well-done race with not a ton of racers - that was kinda nice! Plus, a huge luau & pig roast afterwards - yum!

Cheers, Chris
 

I went bike shopping.    Picked up a Trek Madrone 4.1.  It's not actually what I intended to buy but the bike fit me well, road well, great price, blah blah blah.  Going to break it in with a whole lot of climbing tomorrow.

Did a tri yesterday...today, swam a 1K, cut the grass and am going for a bike ride to the afternoon BBQ

Fifteen mile bike ride with the boyfriend this morning, and a half mile swim this afternoon.  Lake won't be warm enough for much longer, even with the wetsuit!

Hanging around the farm finishing up a few little projects before going back to school tomorrow.  Three mile run later today.  At some time today I have to write my race report for the Treadman Duathlon.  Then I have to figure out what to do with 4 classes of ninth graders for their first week of high school.  That's a lot of pressure. 

did a 3 hour brick on saturday, 75 min taper brick today, and now enjoying a nice belgian beer before I have a steak.

Beat the sun up this mornng for a 16 mile run in prep of the twin cities marathon. My last hard workout befor my last tri Saturday for the season.

 

Ditto... 

2km swim, get my bike tomorrow finally! so I'll be able to start riding gonna go for an hour so probably 17-18 miles.

Today: Tapering for Nations so slowing down here in Frederick, Maryland. Biked to pool for 2X1000 M swim, then biked the long way home (but still just a short commuter ride ~ 6 miles total), then took Miya the dog out for a short 2 mile hill run.

For Eagle, I am not really training hard-focused on Cambridge yet.... I've got a few running races left this year (Army 10 miler and Seagull Century Bike - October and Philly1/2 - November), but I've never done a 1/2M-dot before, so I want to keep my fitness level pretty high through the fall to start building for Cambridge after first of the year. (I'm newb enough that 70.3 is big life challenge yada yada yada and all that drama. ) I'm a little anxious about staying swim-fit over the winter, (indoors at the Y, 25 yards at a time). I guess I'll  be about 70 miles a month running, plus 1 or 2 swims per week, plus some roadie but also more mountain biking now that it's cooled off.

What do you guys do over the "off-season"? (Is Austin still open?)
