The Good Life

The following equipment is nearing replacement:

March 10

Run #1
  • 25m 58s
  • 4.00 miles
  • 06m 28s /Mi

Westport St. Patrick's Day race. Not a fast course, with a decent amount of hills. At least the finish is downhill, though. Kinda annoyed at the start as it was clear some slower people seeded themselves with the 6 and 7 min/mi folk. This lead to lots of people dodging and weaving on narrow streets amidst a big race. I'm sure I ticked someone off with some accidental bumping as I was jockeying for position. Happy with my effort all things considered.

58/3435 OA, 10/298 AG

Run #2
  • 04m 54s
  • 0.54 miles
  • 09m 04s /Mi

Easy jog back up the course to meet up with my wife who was pushing our daughter in the Bob and then back to the finish line.

Swim
  • 23m 07s
  • 1749.78 yards
  • 01m 19s /100 yards

I was tired and exhausted beforehand, but I did this anyway. I incurred two separate foot cramps, something that I haven't had since my HS swimming days. So, perhaps I was a little dehydrated. I also realized I am still not in the swimming shape I want to be in. But looking at my logs that shouldn't be of any surprise.

March 9

Run
  • 30m 01s
  • 4.35 miles
  • 06m 54s /Mi

Awesome weather to be outside and running.

March 8

Bike
  • 1h 00m
  • 19.24 miles
  • 19.24 Mi/hr

March 7

Run
  • 43m 06s
  • 6.14 miles
  • 07m 01s /Mi

Another windy day. It made for a sweet tailwind going out and a brutal headwind on the way back. 66 degrees too, double the temp from Saturday's run.

March 6

Bike
  • 1h 02m 15s
  • 20.00 miles
  • 19.28 Mi/hr
I was going to try and make-up my run from yesterday right after work, in spite of the fierce wind. But when I got home I saw that the wind had ripped off a section of my wood fence from its posts. So I spent the next hour repairing that instead. By the time I was done my wife had to leave and I was flying solo with my daughter. Ergo, no running. I did get on the trainer after she went down to sleep.

March 4

Bike
  • 1h 30m
  • 29.43 miles
  • 19.62 Mi/hr

My goal was to get at least 90 minutes in, but if I could get in a full 120, even better. However, my little girl woke up from her nap an hour and 27 minutes into my spin. Being the only adult in the house I was officially done.

Swim
  • 28m 55s
  • 2187.22 yards
  • 01m 19s /100 yards

Shoulders felt really tired early on during my long warm up. Decided to stick with 100s and 200s for the workout. Doing this I was able to put in a quality effort without my form falling apart.
And hey two swims in three days. When was the last time I was able to pull that off?
