Lots of drills, zipper, free kick, side, kick, rotation drills, lost count of how many each.

Swim class today, drills, drills, drills, and lots of critique in between. The kick drills hurt the most.

Got less laps and time in the pool because we watched a instructional film in class.

I think I did 1600 at minimum, lost track... a slow workout but a hard workout.

Swim class tonight-  after my long run this morning I thought I was going to die! But I did fine and felt tired but good after the lesson.

Going out for a long run...

Back from my long run. It was fun today. Normally I get really bored with long runs, so I found some side MTB trails I have been meaning to check out, they were fun, cost me some time though and did tire me out a bit, but I still got in a mile longer than planned and I FEEL GOOD!

Biathlon Bike

Woolmarket Biathlon- won 2nd place in my age group!

A much bigger field than the last run/bike event I did. A hilly course for both the run and bike. I almost canceled going as the weather was looking bad but I drug my ass out of bed at 4:30 AM and got to it. Turned out to be a great event, well organized and perfect weather (well maybe a bit windy)! More later in the race report! I need lunch!

Just a little something to keep the blood flowing, in case I do that race tomorrow, if the weather holds. If not it will be a long run or maybe I'll do my own race.

Not much for me today, resting up for race on Saturday.

Weather reports are not going in the right direction, Springtime storms are often flooding storms around here and I'm not that set on this race to be driving and racing in lightning weather. We'll see.
