Run

  • 6.80 miles
  • 15m 09s /Mi
Ran at the C&O Canal today from my house and turned between mile 51 and 52.  About a few minutes after that I hear a "Hey Chris.."  which was good to hear cause most of the time the only sound I hear at teh C&O Canal when I'm running is a voice yelling "TO YOUR LEFT TURTLE BOY..." So anyway, I turn around and Man alive it's my Frederick Tri Club Prez Dave, (BT member sbrDave)  The funny thing is Dave was there for a "recovery run" and so I decided oh okay I'll just go his pace...I forget the guys has done a gazillion HIMs and ultras that his recover pace might as well be my race pace..LoL...hey I was glad I tried to stick tio his pace as he did boost up my run a little bit and it felt good...I was tired but I still could hold a conversation which is a welcome thing when you're running alone.  Dave and I always have good conversations and 99.9% of the time it's about triathlon and his mentoring me just made me realize how much he has helped me in all aspects of this beautiful sport.  I even tyold him he should be a coach cause he has a knack for knowing exactly what type training a person has given the level of that person.  I hope he does coach someday.....I'm sure there will be more conversations with Dave and I tell you after we part ways, I'm, always left with some good information or lesson!  Nice sharing the tow pathn with you Dave!

My darn cycle speedo broke. Piece of shit Bell $12. Should have known better...I'll get a good one tomorrow. Will put distance later after I drive it with the car as I had to rush home after I rode. Nice weather 84 degrees and a bit humid....just like my home town in Manila although back home, that is consuidered semi cold...LoL!

Swim
  • 1h 00m
  • 800.00 yards

Nothing but TI drills!
On my Back kicking with arms on legs: 200 yards
On left and right side kicking with arms on legs face facing down center: 100 yards each side for total of 200 yards
Alternate left and right side skating/zipper 400 yards.

The above is the drill I found on You Tube Today byT. Laughlin's TI drills.  It is the best by far as it touches on every aspect.  I plan to do this alot as asuggested by Dave Miller BT member, Frederick Tri Club Prez and great mentor!

Had to work late at home.  We are in time crunch at work and our jobs depend on it.  For real....the sucess of this study will determine our future job security!  At this point I will work 18 hour days if need be to keep my job!

Swim #1

Ida Lee pool. TI Drills.

Swim #2
  • 15m 27s
  • 500.00 yards
  • 03m 05s /100 yards

Okay, so time has not improved. I swam making sure I did not cross tracks with my arms, toes were pointed but still got to work on my up and down body movement which ios causing drag and maybe my left hand position once under the water .... I'll keep working on the drills.

Okay, so I've noticed that when I am VERY aware about my stroke, and onl do 100 yards, I can do it in 2:30 sometimes 2:15.  As soon as I go for more tha 100 yards...it's another story as evidenced by my time above.....Frown
