Swim
Comments: Good swim, pretty much as planned. I wanted to go hard for the first 200, then settle in and get in a rhythm with my bilateral breathing. My extremely scientific determination is that breathing only on one side means I'm probably going too hard for the 1/2 IM pace, so I wanted to see what my speed was when I settled in and got comfortable with bi-lateral breathing. Worked pretty well, and I wasn't that much slower. I still wonder if that pace is too hard for the half, but we'll see. What would you do differently?: Nothing Transition 1
Comments: Fine transition. What would you do differently?: Nothing Run
Comments: Tried out the super-gay new yellow racing flats. They look stupid, but they feel fast, and what else matters. Run felt good. I went a lot faster than I intended, but I just felt great, so I kept going. First mile was 7:26, second was 7:28, last mile was low 6 something, so I negative split, which is really what I wanted to do. Probably shouldn't have gone quite that fast, this was supposed to be a tempo workout, but I think I was working out the stress from the week. What would you do differently?: Slow down a bit, I'm probably feeling good from the taper but I should save that for the race on Sunday. Post race
Warm down: Stretching, food, chatting with everyone. What limited your ability to perform faster: Race on Sunday. Event comments: Ricci, where were the burgers this week? I was starving after the race, but otherwise it was a fun night hanging out with everyone and having some beers. The S&T series has been really fun this summer. Last updated: 2006-03-13 12:00 AM

Rushed down there, taking a f*cking conference call on my cell phone just so I could make the damn race. What an annoying day.
Very short run with Ryan and Pete followed by a very short swim.
