Bike

Stationary bike time. What a great day! I'm happy with my training.

Swim

34m
1480.00 yards
02m 18s /100 yards

This swim was GREAT for my confidence. I swam this 1480 straight! I didn't even plan on doing that, just started swimming and didn't want to stop.

ADVICE NEEDED: Can I run a Half-Marathon the weekend prior to my Half-Iron or is it to close together? I'm doing the Patriots Half-Iron, but I was looking at the Rock and Roll Half-Marathon the weekend prior in Virginia Beach...

It's HOT today. I plan on making it to the pool later this afternoon.

This is a picture from a small OLY tri in South Dakota that I age grouped in... I'm still enjoying this photoshop program LOL

I feel great today! This workout was fun to do. I'm going to run this evening with a group. Life is good... I'm still planning on sharing some pictures each day that I doctor in photo shop. Ice climbing in South Dakota.

I'm really happy with this weeks volume... I was lucky to be able to get ALL of my workout in. I'm pleased with the consistency in my graphs also. I hope I see the results come race day.

Great run with a friend.

I'll run this evening. My weight is going down, that's good. I would like to be under 170 by my race in Sep.

Attention DC Tri people... I need a "tune up race" sometime around Aug 24th to prepare for my Sep 6th Half Iron.... Thoughts?

Nice evening run. This was supposed to be a RPE zone 2 recovery run. I still don't think I have these HR zones setup correctly. I was running VERY easy tonight and I'm still in HR Zone 2 or RPE 3-4 according to my book.

Monday - May 26

Run

1h 30m
9.70 miles
09m 17s /Mi

VERY slow long run tonight. I did this run at 10 at night to avoid the heat. I learned that it's much easier to keep my HR down when I'm cooler. This was a LOW HR zone 2 run for me. I'm still working on this HR thing.

After being stuck in Humvees all day I was READY to get out and run....

Road trip planned when I get back.... Going to be awesome
