3.29.17 Happy Hump Day!

50 min in the pool for 1400m

After warming up was my main set of 750m in about 21:30. I'm pretty happy since two months ago I couldn't make it to 750m, and about 1 month ago I tested 750m in about 29:00. (Todays 750 was mostly 50's w/ 15-30 RI).

Other than that, it was slow kicking with fins and pulling to work on alignment and tautness.

3200m of swimming at 6 AM that began with rescue of a baby bird that had apparently fallen into Lane 1 from the beams above the pool--sometimes birds fly in and hang out there or even build nests. (Our pool and some of the hallways are partly open to the outside--I know--maybe hard to visualize.) It could swim a little, but was too wet and maybe stressed or tired to hop out onto the side--kept trying and was getting exhausted and starting to struggle in the water. I fished it out on a kick board and, followed by anxious mom and a few siblings (who managed to avoid water landings) took it outside. Was worried it wouldn't make it but after about five minutes they all took off.

Good evening all!

Ended up doing a 60 minute run this evening outside. 80F here in Atlanta already, should be an interesting summer.

Have a great hump day!

12.5 mile ride after my 90min massage to get the muscles activated again. Hydrating heavily this week with strict diet, and minimal caffeine

feeling pretty good. down 22.5lbs, but was hoping for 30 before race. We'll see what happens.

countdown: 2 days and race Saturday
