Can I really do a marathon?

July 26

Swim
  • 53m
  • 2194.56 meters
  • 02m 25s /100 meters

Continuous swim. Longest I've done. Wanted to see if it was even reasonable to consider TexasMan Olympic. I didn't calculate how far 1.2 miles was in yards, so I made sure I went far enough. It turns out that 2112 yards equals 1.2 miles. I did 21 laps in 46:18. That is a 2:25 pace/100 meters for reference. Clearly not my best speed, but I knew I was going slower to stay comfortable the whole time. My stroke count was high as well, but my triceps hurt at the end as it was. I am not sure I could have pushed harder.

Off day.  First rest since race on Sunday.  This is the fastest I have bounced back from a race, but it was also the most rest I had taken prior to a race!

July 24

Bike
  • 40m
  • 7.09 miles
  • 10.64 Mi/hr

Tried to do an easy spin exercise, but my heart wasn't in it. I cut it short.

Run
  • 50m 49s
  • 4.80 miles
  • 10m 35s /Mi

Ran a pacing track exercise with Fit2Train this morning. I was meeting Gerald who I have seen at races and the LISD pool to see if I want to hire him as a running coach. He offered to watch me at the track session he coaches. It was an early start after yesterday's early swim, but it was amazing how good I felt on the drive into work. I seemed full of energy! It was also soooo nice to not be running in the heat. I am going to have to re-think my exercise juggle with David!
