The Good Life

The following equipment is nearing replacement:

May 27

Sport
  • Walking
  • 2h 00m
Walking around with our daughter, niece, nephew, grandparents, et al at Jiggle Jam. Out in the sun for 4+ hours. We'll call this two but it was probably more.

May 26

Bike
  • 2h 58m 27s
  • 55.90 miles
  • 18.80 Mi/hr

Biked the KS 70.3 course. Before I could even get started I realized while I'm in T1 that I've overlooked a few small details. I first forgot my rubber bands to strap down my aero bottle. Crap. In addition to that I forgot to reattach my bottle cage to my bike frame. Well, it's a hot day for riding so I better figure something out. My water bottle got stuffed in my back jersey pocket and I had a eureka moment when I realized I could use my spi belt to tie down my aero bottle.

An uneventful ride when all is said and done. I saw a bunch of other riders out. The wind coming out of the south sucked. Even though I appreciated it on the way back in, I could've done without it on those hills on 550 rd. Overall, a good ride. I was expecting it to suck, and it did in parts, but I ended up surprising myself with what I churned out.

May 25

Swim
  • 28m 57s
  • 2241.90 yards
  • 01m 16s /100 yards

Good swim. The distance came easy, particularly on the straight 1000 swim, but I was lacking a little bit of umph in overall effort. I just couldn't find it.

Strength
  • 40m

I showed up to the gym hoping to swim, but the pool was full. With the masters team soon to be taking over the pool anyway I opted for some strength training. I'll hit the pool after work instead.

May 24

Run
  • 24m 13s
  • 3.34 miles
  • 07m 15s /Mi

I really miss timed this run. At the last minute I decided to head out for my run hoping to beat the line of T-storms heading our way. I got a mile in and after during a few lightning strikes it was apparent I want going to get all of my intended mileage in. I eventually made it inside just before the rain hit with the ominous clouds overhead. I probably could've done the rest on the treadmill but I let myself get talked out of that and called it a day. I really dislike the treadmill.

May 22

Run
  • 49m 31s
  • 7.07 miles

Great run. The legs felt good, plus I just needed to get outside and clear my head, which I more or less did.

May 21

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

A mostly easy spin on the trainer. Not too much lingering fatigue from yesterday.
