Good morning BT!  

6:45am:  5X5 strong lift.  I have to say I am loving lifting heavy (for me).  I'm getting stronger by the week.

Rest of the day is technically off--will take the dog squad out for their hike and then probably spend the day at the pool.  I have my first real brick tomorrow morning--starting to prepare for my Oly tri at the end of July!

Have a great day!!!

Took the afternoon off work to go get in a tempo ride. Good idea when it's 95.

1:00 - 30 mile ride, with 3 x 10' at olympic pace, 3 x 4' all out and 3 x 2' easy spin. I cut my cool down short (I was doing a five mile loop course, and wasn't inclined to go extra on the cool down).

My legs are shot. Have a good day and weekend, BT!

Had a million dollar run today. Only 4 miles and change but my legs felt like they were made out of springs and I couldn't slow down. I don't usually drink coffee so maybe it was the single cup of joe this morning, or maybe the shot of gin that I had before I hit the trail (No.. it wasn't that), Looking forward to some longer runs this weekend. Happy friday!

Hmmm...I have a tri buddy who swears by a gin and tonic the night before a race.... If I did that, I wouldn't be able to get out of bed in time for the start! Not much happens for me in the morning workout-wise without the aid of caffeine, especially at O Dark 30 before work.

Definitely caffeine-aided workout today! Didn't get much sleep owing to a rather comical incident at about 1 AM--Dad got up to pee, then decided to check the door lock. The loud click woke Mom and I up, but by the time I got up to investigate Dad was back asleep, so we were prowling around thinking someone had tried to force the lock and an intruder might be in the house or outside! (Not unfounded--there have been several break-ins nearby and transients sleeping on lawns in recent months.). Then it took forever to get back to sleep.

It took me until 10:30 to get going on today's workout--needed some very strong coffee in the system. Then 1:20 trainer ride with a LOT of 30-second VO2 max intervals with equal recoveries--short but nasty, followed by an easy 40 minute run.

Oh snap that doesn't sound fun at all. I feel like you may have mentioned it at various times, but do you travel with your bike back and forth to Vietnam or do you leave a bike back home in Oregon?

Red Rover (my tri bike) usually comes home with me I'm the summer if I'm planning any races (I usually am). I have a road bike and MTB on both continents for touring, group rides, and running errands. At winter break, Rover stays in Vietnam and I just train on my road bike here. Before I got the tri bike, I took the aerobars, seat, and pedals with me for the summer, and trained and raced on the road bike.
