Run
  • 1h 46m 49s
  • 10.01 miles
  • 10m 40s /Mi

10 miles in the pouring rain. Not my best pace, but I will take it.

Bike
  • 1h 25m 01s
  • 18.87 miles
  • 13.32 Mi/hr

I don't know where I found the energy for this. Spinervals 20.0 is killer. Multiple short bursts at 100%. I puked in my mouth once. Yucky. After the vid, I did some ladders and other stuff to finish of the planned 1:25 ride.

Day one of the last week of build is done.  I am proud of how I have physically and mentally kept it together over the last 5 months.  I don't think I am going to do great at the race, but I don't really care.  I am happy with the effort I have put in.  Today is a perfect example of hat I am proud of.  I did a run in the pouring rain with good effort and then really HTFU for the bike to night.  Thanks also to Yeajackson for motivating me on the bike.

Bike
  • 3h 11m 01s
  • 45.37 miles
  • 14.25 Mi/hr

Spinervals 26.0 (first 3 hours-come and get me coach Troy). I just had to HTFU and get this done. I had to give mock boards this morning, so I couldn't start workouts until the afternoon. This was the bike from yesterday since I spent it shopping with my girls. We had an awesome time, so it was worth it.

Swim
  • 50m 40s
  • 2400.48 yards
  • 02m 06s /100 yards

WU: 500
MS: 200 paddles
4 x (25 FT/25 FS)
5 x 250 endurance (2:03/100, 2:06/100, 2:04/100, 2:02/100, 2:02/1000
CD: 250 (still 2:04/100 since I was rushing to get out of the pool before it closed).

Yesterday was a fabulous day with my girls.  It was nice to take a day to be with them.  We did a bunch of shopping and got manicures.  I hate to lose my entire Saturday to workouts when my kids are with me, so we swam together and then had a great time hanging out.  We topped off the day with Yeajackson's concert.  He did Bach's Mass in B minor with his chorus and the Artemis Chamber Ensemble.  AMAZING!!!! I am so proud of him. He has always been dedicated to singing and it makes me proud to see him so fulfilled.

I am supposed to bike today, but I feel like shopping with my girls.  As busy as tomorrow will be, I think I will just have to make more hours in the day.  Tonight it Yeajackson's big concert.  He will be great!!!!!

May 18

Off day on the schedule.  I was going to make up my swim from yesterday, but I think I will  take the day off.  My mind needs it.

May 17

Run
  • 2h 06m 52s
  • 12.10 miles
  • 10m 29s /Mi

Okay run. Harlem hill kicked my ass more this week than last week. HR was very, very high today. I don't know how I sustained 1:55 min at LT.

I didn't get to swim today, but I figured that would happen.  I dove kids to riverdale, walked the dog, came home and dropped off dog, went to the office and had to search for a new place to put my car, ran, drove 2.5 miles home in 45 min, showered, dressed up, drove 2.5 hrs to CT and was late to a party I was throwing.  At least getting home was fast.  Long friggin day.

May 16

Bike
  • 1h 55m 01s
  • 25.43 miles
  • 13.27 Mi/hr

God I love getting up at 4 am to ride...NOT! At least I got it done. This was a planned Z1-2 ride, so mission accomplished.

Run
  • 1h 03m 58s
  • 6.00 miles
  • 10m 39s /Mi

I saw my kids while running on their campus. I love it when that happens. Just an okay run. I felt like I was working harder than I should today. Maybe I am just tired from lack of sleep. I have a long run tomorrow. I hope I feel stronger for that.

May 15

Swim
  • 41m 55s
  • 2000.00 yards
  • 02m 06s /100 yards

Straight swim. This was not good at all. I felt like I was working pretty hard. I made a major change in my stroke on Sunday, and I need to work out the kinks I guess. It might also be because I am sick. I am not going to let it get me down.
