The hardest part over the past week is that with hubby and oldest away, I have my 9 year old here and I harbor huge guilt working out and not doing things with him. He was in camp last week for a couple of hours each day, but that's not much time for me to get anything done. I did my long bike Friday so camp helped with the portion I rode outside. Sunday I started to do a spin in the living room while we watched a movie together but my back and shoulder hurt enough after a half hour I stopped...and almost threw the bike out of the window. It was a good teaching moment for my kid - see, adults get frustrated but we have to figure out a way to work the problem and sometimes it can't be fixed that minute. So we finished the movie while I did PT and we went to ride go-carts. He said it was his favorite thing he's ever done.
Today is my actual rest day but after watching American Ninja Warrior last night my 9 year old wants to work out, so I'm thinking we'll do a little weight session together here at the house, maybe some yoga and I'll do PT. All rides will have to be on the trainer until hubby and oldest get home - so intervals tomorrow.

Random comment ...I'm 3 hours into a long bike and my left glute is killing me - have swung by the house to foam roll it, very frustrated. My legs feel great as far as strength but I just can't get the bikes right. I'm swapping around - did the first 2 hours on the road bike so I don't tear up my back too early, now I've done 1:15 on the tri bike on rolling terrain and it's very windy so I'm getting blown all over God's creation. Back isn't horrible but can feel it a bit. Goal is to gut out one more hour on the tri bike then bring it back inside and go on the trainer on the roadie. Wishing my body weren't so twisted and difficult to work with.
Sorry for the vent...I'm getting in peak weeks and the terror is real.

Whelp, I somehow managed to have a relapse to my L4/L5 spondylolisthesis.  In searing pain right now, and I have no idea how I tweaked it.  I rode 60' on the training on Friday morning, felt fine, then my back started stiffening up.  It got worse over the weekend and now I pretty much can't do anything.  Doctor appointment Friday - they cant fit me in until then.  F#%#$%!!!!

Mid Day Brag Session:

I don't know what I did or how I did it - but I CRUSHED my swim. I swam 1350 in the lake and my average time was 2:27. That's more than 20% faster than my last swim on Saturday. And I wasn't even trying hard. And the absolute best part - NO PAIN!!!! Boom!

I'm gonna have a healthy lunch and then celebrate with pork tenderloin and a few tasty beverages.

I just finished a brick in "feels like" 111F. No wonder I felt like I was dying! Ugh. It was 45' bike followed by 15' run. This morning I squeezed in most of yesterday's planned run before some meetings at work. I'm back on schedule now after delaying the run yesterday due to my fall on Sunday.

- catch and release (Matt SImons)
- in bloom (Nirvana)
- speed of sound (Coldplay)
- Tush (ZZ Top)
- Uprising (Muse)

Question - How do you guys set up your data fields on your Garmin for swimming. I'm wondering what settings I can use to maximize my swim training.

Thanks!

Power tap P1 pedals or Garmin Vector pedals? Looking for a single pedal option ($), LBS says Powertap is showing to be easier setup and easier to swap between bikes and have more stable firmware.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
