May 3

Bike
  • 1h 02m 04s
  • 20.00 miles
  • 19.33 Mi/hr

May 2

Run
  • 33m 46s
  • 4.86 miles
  • 06m 57s /Mi

KCM track workout. Ooph. The legs had no strength today to really push the hard sections of this workout. I'm looking forward to a few days of resting my running legs.

May 1

Run
  • 35m 04s
  • 5.03 miles
  • 06m 58s /Mi

A hot and windy run. That and it was tough. It was one of those runs where I wish I had someone to pace me slower.

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

Trainer. The first 15 minutes involved me hoping on and off the bike tinkering with the seat position and angle. In the end I'm not sure what I ended up with. To be continued.

April 30

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

I was originally planning on running, but I had too much lingering stiffness and aches that I decided to rest my running legs. Plus, my new bike saddle arrived and I wanted to test it out. First off I had too much fatigue in my legs to put in too much intensity. Regarding my saddle, a Cobb v-flow max, my first impression of it was great. But as time wore on the area around my sit bones became more uncomfortable. I tried some shifting around but no relief. I'm hoping that it's just that I've got to adapt to a new seat, or maybe it's some left over soreness from Saturday.

April 29

Run
  • 1h 24m 34s
  • 12.06 miles
  • 07m /Mi

After waiting out the rain I drove back out to Indian Creek trail for my long run. The temps were cool enough but it was very humid, which had me drenched with sweat. I was cruising along at some good even splits pretty easily until mile 9. At that point I stopped at a park water fountain, but then had trouble getting going again after that. I was getting tired and I was contemplating a walk break near the end, but then Eminem's 'Till I Collapse' came on. Of course after the first bit of lyrics go by it just seemed wrong to walk. Damit. Anyway, I toughed it out and finished a good overall run.

April 28

Bike
  • 2h 12m 52s
  • 41.39 miles
  • 18.69 Mi/hr

Biked from my house out to Heritage Park where I did a lap of the triathlon course and then biked home. My average was a little down from biking in and out of my neighborhood streets and whatnot. It was another great day to ride. The wind was a little annoying but it wasn't blowing all that hard. I was hoping that my new saddle I had ordered would be on my door step before today but it wasn't so I had to put up with some more saddle uncomfortableness during the last half hour to 45 minutes.

April 27

Swim
  • 30m 55s
  • 2351.26 yards
  • 01m 19s /100 yards

An ok swim workout. Did a 1000 straight followed by some 100s. Kind of exhausted at the end of a long work week.
