Good morning!  Hope everyone is feelin' groovy today!

6am:  30 min walk, Insanity Plyo Cardio Circuit

Heading back out the Salt Flats again today,  The coolest racers so far are the New Zealanders--best accents and nicest to talk to!  It's darn hard work, but fun meeting all the racers and seeing their cars...and hosing them down!  The actual racing starts today so we will be hoppin'!

Gooooood luck racers!!!

It's raining and was hailing here, so, maybe some core work or I'll wait until much later to see of the weather clears up for a run.

Afternoon!

Kim:  I'm starting to get a little more interested in Insanity.  Hope you had a good workout.

Last night:  Slow, easy 4-mile trail run.  Golly, I love trails!

This morning:  Missed the group ride.  Was running a little late anyway, and got to my garage and found--TA-DAH!!--flat front tire! Frown Took it off, and there was a dandy slice in the tube.  ???  Replaced it (need to buy more spare tubes) and went out on my own.  Did 30.2 miles; first 12 or so were in a lot of fog--kinda cool, really.  Very pretty morning.

My tookus is sore from the lunges I did yesterday morning, which tells me, "Andy, you need to do more lunges!  Well, duh, right?  An article in Triathlete talked about training and racing in one's 40's, 50's and 60's.  I'm 55, started tri-ing last year.  For tri peeps in their 50's, it suggested, among other things, that we add more ST to our regimen, as much as 2-3x week.  I'm on it!

Tomorrow morning:  6 mile run, on trails.

17 mile run with a couple friends.  Doing long runs with other people makes them way easier.

83 mile ride this morning.  Hot humid weather caused me to wilt toward the end.  Recovering now & will do a short 3 - 4 mile run tonight.

Volunteered at a local sprint tri this morning on the bike route. It's a different perspective of the race -- so many different bikes out there, some were barely moving. One lady had her bike helmet on backwards (???) One poor kid's left pedal kept coming off. And someone's bike pump fell off, so I was able to move it off the course so no one crashed. Two women on cruisers must have taken two hours to do the 12 miles, chatting the whole way casually. That was it for my exciting morning. lol

Ran 4 miles before dinner, very slowly.

Horrible time trial this morning. Carbon racing wheels came yesterday and felt obligated to try them out this morning. Not used to tires, wheels, or cassette and nothing was dialed in right. Plus a serious ramp-up week on marathon training and biking. I was tired and just plain sucked

raining this morning so slept in, then in afternoon a little humid for us but not as hot so out for climbing hills.  Short and hard was the tune today.

Then took the grandchildren horse back riding.  So nice to sit in a giant saddle for a change.

Sunday workouts already over here, but Saturday was good, if a bit lonely. AM 75 minute run with fartlek pickups. Felt really good, considering I've been able to do hardly any speedwork all summer due to combo of injury flare-up (hamstring/butt issues), soreness from deep-tissue massage, and several long-haul flights.  Not sure how fast it was, but it seemed to take a normal amount of time. PM 3200 meters in the pool, mostly 300 repeats.  Miss my master's swim group and tri club in Oregon, plus some buddies who moved on at end of last year. About ready to start talking to myself!  On the plus side, for my next race (Vietnam Tri), I have a room at a hotel with a 150 meter pool!!!!! Come on over, Yanti!
