Today was my first swim back after vacation, and even with the workouts I did over vacation, today was hard.  It was a 2400 m anerobic endurance workout, but with the heat wave we've been having in the east this week, the water was much warmer than normal - uncomfortably so.  We felt like we were all being made into a great big bowl of Masters Soup.  Add to that the fact that they really needed to vacuum the pool out this morning to remove all the old band-aids and the big clumps of hair floating in it.  Temporary issues, I know, but it made me wish for freezing February.

It's all good, though.  I'm getting back into workout routine, and preparing for races in September. 

It's odd that it shows up so late in the ride. Now the road/tri bike thing isn't weird.  Different geometry and pressure points.  Does it dissipate if you quickly readjust?  Muscular?

Swim and a bike today.  Going to South Carolina on Wednesday to see my grandparents.  My parents are driving my kids up from Miami and we're all meeting there. Should be fun.

Well the thing about the trainer is you're literally in the same spot the whole time, unless you're Rizer and get the Rock n Roll Kinetic.  Anyway outside there are small changes in position due to turning, eating/drinking, etc.  So if you are settled in on a pressure point you may just sit there on it.  Wait until after a nice long ride outside to make any judgement calls on what's happening.

BTW I'm super excited for how the rest of the year is shaping up.  2 olys coming up.  I hate this distance because the ride/run aren't long enough to help me make up for my deficient swimming.  That said it's what I need (the things we hate generally are), and I'm hoping to qualify for HyVee at the 5150 in Galveston.  Then there is Oilman, and literally everyone I know locally is racing there plus a good 6-8 clients.  Then training starts for my first marathon. 

Oh and I got the go ahead to try and get in on the Flo pre-order that's happening Thursday. 

Here is where you have to weigh goals vs. things you like to do vs. aesthetics, etc. 

No, Insanity is not compatible with marathon training.  You will not be able to do either at the prescribed intensity and recover.  Doing both simultaneously is a bad idea if you want the best results from either.  That said if you are just looking for improved aesthetics and general fitness you can do both.

Now if you were to find a program that was a 2-3x a week program where the intensity of the leg movements was variable than I might be willing to consider that somewhat compatible.
