VEG-atha-MOM!

May 8

The wall was hit! I totally planned on swimming 3000 ...my body had other plans.

May 7

Run
  • 40m
  • 4.00 miles
  • -----

With running group. The first mile felt so hard and was 11:20, the last felt easy and was about 9:15! Crazy!

Swim
  • 30m
  • 1200.00 yards
  • -----

100 X 12 ...I found the even numbers when I was forced to do bilateral breathing I was a bit slower. When I breathed when I wanted to (bilateral but not so planned) I swam faster. Sets varied between 1:40 and 2:00 ish

May 6

Bike
  • 23m 13s
  • 7.00 miles
  • 18.08 Mi/hr
Run
  • 20m
  • 2.30 miles
  • 08m 42s /Mi
Swim
  • 06m 58s
  • 400.00 yards
  • 01m 45s /100 yards

Fiske does not do T times, so I had to sort of fudge bike time (guessed 2 min transition) and run time (guessed 1 minute transition). Also, I think the swim was 15 seconds faster b/c my timing person let me go at 15 seconds later than staggered start time by accident. So this would have given me a 1:40/100 pace :) NICE!! These times (bike and swim) are both pace PR's and I could not be happier with them. I also won:

2nd PLACE ATHENA!!

May 5

Rosie did her triathlon! I ran along side of her for some of her bike and all of her run - I'm so proud of her!!

May 4

Run
  • 30m 13s
  • 3.10 miles
  • 09m 45s /Mi

Too lazy to get up and get exact calculations but:
Mile 1 : 10:40-ish
Mile 2 : 9:34
Mile 3 : 9:15
I accidentally pushed the group on this 'easy' run ... I have to be careful not to do that :/

Packing for the triathlons! My 6yo daughter will be tomorrow AM and mine will be Sunday :D SO excited!!!

May 3

ARRRGGHHH! Was sick all day until about 5pm..arranged to go swim at 8:30 PM - circumstances caused me to miss this time and now I've done no exercise today. The plan says not to reschedule it in. In this case, I think that may be wise.

May 2

Run
  • 42m 40s
  • 3.63 miles
  • -----

Around town so I can check in on the chicks.

Swim
  • 14m
  • 700.00 yards
  • 02m /100 yards

Back in business with the shoulder.

Bike
  • 1h 08m
  • 15.50 miles
  • 13.68 Mi/hr

Takin' it easy with my mother's husband for an evening ride.

Today's schedule:

6:30 - wake, get hubbs and kid off to school w/lunches, etc. pack a lil' somethin' for myself, pack up library books, bathing suit, normal person clothes, bike clothes, check on baby chicks, feed guinea pigs, make beds, etc.

9:30 - run about 3.5

10:30 - pack up and leave as close to this time as possible to get to N'Ton 35 min away to swim.

11:15 - get in the pool

12:00 - go pick up daughter from school

12:45 - library (don't forget tri books for reading)

2:30 - drop of daughter with mother

3:00 - meet with sponsor until 4

4:15 - bike with Thomas

5:45 - dinner

7:30 - clean guinea pig cage, put Rose to bed, do laundry (or else!), check on sweet little chicks - no meetings tonight so easy evening. Ahhhh :D  oops - Grocery LIst!

Update #1: Run went well! I feel like total crap but am just deciding to push through it based on the anecdotes of others - I guess you're supposed to feel run down, achyy, nauseous ...so I'm right on track ;) Decided to do a slow warm up to a fartlek: thrilled based on how I feel (and regardless of how I feel as well!!)

Mile 1: 11:28

Mile 2: 10:06

Mile 3: 9:19

.63 walk up hill: 11:47

Update #2: Oh brother - I tried to get in 30 min for swimming but the chicks needed to be cleaned, I had to get gas...all in all, I travelled THIRTY FIVE MINUTES had to lock up my bike at the far-away Y, etc. to swim for 14 minutes! UGH! However, a more successful swim could not have been had. I did a 500 in less than 8 minutes and then I did and Individual Medley (200). So fun!

I played with my daughter in between -wrestling, giggling - so fun! And then went for a bike ride with my mother's husband. Shorter and slower than I'd thought but maybe just right since I had ridden my bike until midnight last night! Now I'm finishing up my phone calls, got my girl to bed, cleaned the guinea pig cage, am doing laundry and the grocery list is done. Hoping to fit in a swim and a run tomorrow but this may not work out since my daughter is not feeling great again. I know I'll get a run workout in (and a very hard one at that) since track practice is tomorrow evening.
