Stayed in Zone (actually a bit below Z2) for most of the ride, until the last 10 minutes where I pushed it a bit and ignored the HR.

Well it is done! Much better than I thought, but still not as enjoyable as being outside. However, the CT is better than the normal trainer...No way in hell would I have survived on the ol' fluid trainer. Got's to love the CT.
What a great day this is going to be....none of my usual riding partners are available for a ride nor is the weather around here worth getting out in.....guess, that means that I will be getting my money out of that Computrainer today. 3 hours on the trainer...ouch! But it has to be done! Guess it will be a Kona marathon on the DVD today.
Week in Review:
Time: 9+04
Swim: 5000 yds
Bike: 51.3 miles
Run: 20.9 miles
Weights: 45 min
Still not happy with the missed workouts, but it is a two hour improvement over the last two weeks, so I won't complain too much. It only gets harder this coming week with an increase in swim distance per workout and the addition of another swim. Got to keep building!!!
And I am not meeting my goal of 2 strength sessions per week...just can't find time to get to the gym...so I went out and bought a bench and set of weights for the house...no more excuses right??
Ran 3 laps around the Chickasaw trail loop. Nice run with a few hills and lots of wildlife....rabbits, squirrels, snakes, chipmunks (hey Chippy!), ducks, geese, and buffalos...yes, buffalos. Some rich guy donated a huge herd of buffalo to this area for research...pretty cool to be running and watching a herd of buffalo roam in the field a few 100 yds away.
Nice run on an overcast morning. Not bad to have 9 miles completed by 9 a.m.
Forgot my Garmin and HR monitor (and felt lost without it), so I used the 8:2 run/walk to try to slow me down. Didn't really succeed, but I had a great run and feel good afterwards. Happy Saturday peeps!!!
The old man can still play ball! Wish I had that much talent in triathlons!!!

Made a critical mistake after work today. I sat down in my leather chair for a few minutes to get caught up on the US Open. Next thing I know, it is now 7pm as I awaken from my nap...guess my body was telling me it was tired. Doesn't look like I will be getting the ride/run in tonight after all. Now I am 2 hours behind for the week and need to figure out a way to make it up. Tomorrow was supposed to be an off day, but I may try to fit in a makeup workout. That is after a couple of hours of softball tomorrow at the command's picnic. Not a true off-day, but the softball isn't going to help me any at IMFL, so I will have to get in some tri related workout tomorrow in addition to the fun and games.

Little brick action later today with 45 min CT ride and a 30 min transition run. Guess these Thursdays will be known as Tri-Thursday.
Morning run (after military PT): 3.08 miles/30 min.
Evening run: 3.08 miles/30 min
Now how did that happen??? Same exact distance?

Early morning swim, then a CT ride later tonight. CT ride not going to happen tonight, too much going on. I will fit it in later this week. Maybe on my off-day on Friday. Sounds like my riding partners will not be able to make it this weekend, so there may be a few alterations to the sked....but I will get all the time in this week!!!
Also came home to find out that my mother has stolen Champ for a day or two. My neice is in town, so they swung by and picked him up to play with. Can't be too upset since he gets someone to play with all day instead of being by himself in the back yard as he is normally when I am at work.
Oh yeah.... I got a "good boy" from Trixie....so that means I must be doing something right with this training thing!
