Run
  • 36m 40s
  • 5.08 miles
  • 07m 13s /Mi

Up and 'em for an early morning run. I woke up after having an odd triathlon related dream (perhaps getting up early to train was messing with my subconscious). I was out the door and discovered that some things never change. It is still hard to get my legs moving first thing in the morning. They just felt heavy the whole time. Pushed through and get it done regardless.

So, since it looks like it is going to be 90-100 degrees every single day for the rest of the summer (or at least for the next two weeks) I'm thinking I need to swap days on my usual Tue/Thurs bike sessions with my Mon/Wed runs. I can more easily run in the early morning hours of T/Th than on M/W and thereby I can avoid the lifesucking heat I'd be facing after work.

June 24

Bike
  • 59m 34s
  • 18.74 miles
  • 18.88 Mi/hr

Maintaining the current theme for the week I went out on a short and not too serious bike ride. Just trying to get back into a regular training regimen. It wasn't too hot yet, but it was already fairly warm and the wind was pretty decent out of the SW. My route was out to New Century and back. I fought the wind on the way out but I had sweet tailwind coming back. That was fun.

I cut the ride short by a little as I rode over some glass towards the end. A short while later I heard a short but loud pffffttt. I figured I had a flat so I just biked it home since I was close. Once I arrived I discovered I had no flat at all. Tires were fully inflated. Huh. A little odd, but good news I suppose - no tire to change.

June 23

Run
  • 49m 45s
  • 7.06 miles
  • 07m 03s /Mi

I awoke this morning to see overcast skies and coolish temps to run in. A bit of a surprise given the weather lately and what today was forecasted to be, but I'll take it. Because of the more favorable weather I was able to have a better run the the last few attempts, but I started to fade at the end. I'm still working at getting my body to be a 100% back into a comfortable training pattern.

Swim
  • 21m 43s
  • 1640.42 yards
  • 01m 19s /100 yards

Nothing too serious here. I just wanted to get some pool work in and get back to form after two weeks away from the pool. I struggled a little to maintain my arm pull strength at the end.

June 22

I was planning on swimming after work but I completely spaced out and forgot to bring my  swim stuff with me in the morning before. We'll try again tomorrow.

June 21

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

Quality trainer session tonight.

June 20

Run
  • 36m 38s
  • 5.03 miles
  • 07m 17s /Mi

Oooph. This was hard. It's apparent that I'm not 100% ready to handle running in the heat. Another windy day with 90+ degree temps. I did ok for the first half but then I found myself having to stop every half to three quarters mile.
