So I just got the shipping notification that all my nutrition for Texas is on the way.  So now I have new bike shoes, new run shoes on the way, and all my nutrition/hydration either in house or on the way.  I showed Cindy my spreadsheet of IM stuff and her response was "Look finally something important enough for you to make a list."

I envy your 8 hours Jen!

No sleep + allergies= vice grip squeezing my head! Forgot to take allergy medicine last night and then the little guy woke up screaming. My wife tried to comfort him but then daddy came to the rescue He wanted to eat something ha! Go down to the kitchen and he wants a hot dog, really?! The cute thing is he wanted daddy to cook it on the "hot" and pointed to my grill outside. After he had his hotdog he was fine and slept the rest of the night. Wish I could have said the same for me. Now time to figure out how to get this workout in. I am in a blackberry 10 server/device training all day today :/ Thanks for letting me rant

Rest day for me (recovery week).  I slept a solid 8 hours last night.  I feel FANTASTIC!  I've been on my feet moving all day long for the last month, and May is even more insane.  

I did some core work yesterday and all of my abdominal muscle are sore.  So are my glutes.  Oops!  Guess it's been a long time since I focused specifically on my core.  I'm recommitting myself to doing 3 x 20 minute sessions a week until my training really ramps up. 

Have a wonderful day!

So did you cook it on the grill? LOL Hope you feel better!

Did a 1500m open water swim practice yesterday, and I'm glad I did.  The water was cold - around 55 degrees, so even though my body was ok in the wetsuit, it was really cold on my face and head, so getting my breathing right took awhile.  Even if the water isn't that cold in Charlottesville this weekend, being prepared for that ahead of time is a good thing. 

I was also able to mostly resolve the shoulder constriction issues I had with the wetsuit last time by pulling the sleeves way up, the way I think they're supposed to be worn.  My shoulders are still a little tired today, but nothing like last time.  

I then did a hilly 33 miles on the bike.  I can tell I'm not bike shape yet, but these were some of my favorite mountain roads, so it was good to be out.  Tapering this week for Sunday's Olympic.

 Sounds like something my wife would say.

kidtri33 - 2013-04-30 8:40 AM That was the thing nothing else would comfort him last night. Sometimes when this happens I think he is still "asleep" and we just go rock him for a bit and then put him back in his bed and he is fine but not last night. He also wanted to play with sissy and didn't get it that she was sleeping still because it was nighttime. Ahh and we have another on the way...what were we thinking

kidtri33 - 2013-04-30 8:03 AM I did a race in Charlottesville last year and they do have some good hills out there and a great Italian restaurant You doing Monticelloman?

Kuma - 2013-04-30 9:35 AM

That's the plan.  I've always liked Charlottesville the few times I've been there, but I don't know it very well.  What's the Italian restaurant?  I'll probably go there afterwards!

April's totals:
Bike:	20h 47m 03s  - 326.61 Mi
Run:	15h 21m 30s  - 95.41 Mi
Swim:	5h 04m 25s  - 19200 Yd

Not that impressive compared to most of your totals.  I feel like I worked hard and that's all that matters; right?

Be proud of what you've done!  You're doing what you're doing now to be ready for an IM in August, not in May.
