I could definitely feel that I have been out of the pool for two weeks. Just didn't have my rhythm.

Did the scheduled 1+00 workout in Z2 as required. (5.41 miles @ 11:06 pace).

Now I am headed out to run Champ around the block again. Finished the .5 mile loop in 5:05 with Champ.

OK, it is official now...I have completely lost my friggin mind!  Not only am I just beginning my training for IMFL, but I just dropped some nice dimes down on the IMAZ 07 entry.  Yep, back-to-back IM's.  I really wanted to do IMAZ this year, but with all the shibit that went on as you guys know, I swtiched to IMFL (again!).  But today, I was looking online and noticed that next year's race is on April 15th...the day that Marla died.  I got into this because of her, so there was no way I could not race on this day FOR HER!!!

I looked on the sked and I will have a chance to take 1 month completely off then start back on a 20 week plan like I am doing now for IMFL.  Hope the bod holds out!

Last week was a good start to the training, but I did miss two swim workouts, shortened a run by 20 minutes and missed a strength training session.  Wasn't 100% for most of the week, but stilled managed a 7+42 week, so I will call it a good start and move on.

Don't know if time and/or pace is correct as we had to stop a couple of times for traffic and for a wreck. Either way, it was TITS (time in the sadlle), so it was all good. Kept the HR down.

Easy ride with fellow BTers Lisa (twolives), Frank (FrankAmato), and Tri Thunder teammates Damie and Missy.  An easy ride on a new course, so we took it very slow.  Nice course though, definitely will do it again.  Everything was good until the ride back where we had a couple of cars pass us, then one car came flying by and next thing I know about another 1/2 mile up the road, I see a car wrecked and a couple of our riders out in the road and off their bikes.  NONE OF THEM WERE HIT NOR WERE THEY THE CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT!!!  What happened was that this 16 y/o kid lost control of his car going around a curve too fast and about 200yds in front of two of our riders.  They immediatley raced up to help the kid and luckily he was able to climb out of his car after he rolled it a few times.  Yes, he was wearing his seatbelt...good for him!  We sat there and helped him and directed traffic until the cops and ambulance go there; no apparent injuries other than what seems to be a kid that will be very sore for the weeks to come.  Neighbors had called the cops for us, so they arrived really quick and took over the scene.  Off we went, but much more careful this time...it is amazing how that will wake you up.  Hope the kid will be alright, then someone can kick him for being a nimrod and driving too fast on country (curvy) roads. 

Overall great ride, slow, but very enjoyable.  Great ride with good friends on a beautiful day...can't beat it!

Computrainer ride @ Z1 & 100+ RPMs

avg cadence: 102
avg watts: 101

Quick lap around the neighborhood with Champ. Started out wanting to just walk with him, but then decided to see how long he would do at a run and he made it all the way and stayed by my side the whole time. Only once did he almost trip me. I think he may have Chippy's heart as on some points he was walking as fast as I could run! ;)

Computrainer ride complete via IM porn!  Watched the 2002 Kona DVD that I just got in the mail.  Also got the 2001 & 2000 DVDs....guess 2001 is for tomorrow's CT ride.  Whoo Hoo!

Swim:  increase in 8440 yds
Bike:  increase in 40 miles
Run:  increase in 3 miles
Time:  increase in 6+ hours

Now all this sounds good, but I did have entirely too many off days last month, especially the week off after the Memphis in May OLY.  Now speaking of that, I did complete my first OLY ever and my first race since June 2005.  So I will give it an overall grade of "B".
