We'll call this 30 minutes. I headed out on my bike for a mostly easy spin with a few brief intervals of intensity. In the middle of this I stopped over at an elementary school parking lot and practiced some bike mounts, dismounts, and slipping my feet into my shoes while on the bike - something I haven't done before for a race but I think I'm ready to give it a go.

Easy spin on the trainer.

Eh. I wasn't feeling really up for a swim, but it was short and sweet. Felt good enough in the water I suppose. I did try out a new pair of goggles to replace my broken pair and upgrade from my sup-par back-up goggles. Great peripheral vision but they really suck on to my face and I'm pretty sure I'll have some raccoon eyes going on if I wear them for an entire 1.2 mile swim.

Taper week sucks. I didn't feel great, the exact opposite what I want to be feeling. It just didn't come easy on this short run. But I know better and have done this enough to know this is normal. As my wife reminded me afterward I've done some solid training up to this point and there is nothing to worry about.

Solid, consistent effort for this brief session. Speed sensor was giving me some odd readings, saying I was going 2 mph at times.

I kinda felt like crap on this run. My pace sure doesn't indicate it though, but I felt much slower. It might do me good to pay more attention to my pace and then maybe this run wouldn't have felt so hard. Is it time to start blaming my taper on how I feel on my workouts yet?

Nothing too tough. I choose a route that would take me an hour and that's exactly what I got. Some climbing involved but nothing drastic. Great day to be outside.

My arms/shoulders weren't feeling the greatest (i.e. tired). I didn't leave work as early as I would have liked so that translated to me not couldn't swim as long as I was planning as I had other evening plans, but no big deal.
