I actually felt pretty good in the pool today. I was able to freestyle swim the first 210 yds without switching stroke types, which made me feel like some of the training is starting to pay off. If I am able to swim 2:44/100yds in the race on Sunday, I will finish the swim portion in 24:00, which would be great for me. I would like to finish the swim in 25 min, the bike in 45 min and the run in 35 min which would be a total of 1:45 plus t1 and t2 times which will take me somewhere around 1:50 for the race.

Bike

  • 12.30 miles
  • 10.48 Mi/hr

Not a very good ride, I think i was saving myself becuase I did a brick today. A long one with a 3.75 mile run after the bike. I fell at about mile ten and hit my head/neck/left shoulder on a tree. My bike is now screwed up and I have to get it fixed asap. No diamond hills.

Run
  • 38m 34s
  • 3.75 miles

Tired, hot and soar. Very slow.

Trail Run at Rocky Point

Tested myself with the longest brick I have done. I rode about 12.5 miles at rocky point - started on fire roads and then back in the trail so I could mark a 1.25 mile course (for the run portion). Road the main loop with just one of the diamond hills (water bottle hill). I am surprised at how easy this hill is getting and I don't think I will ever leave it out in the future. My "T2" time was 2:34 which included changing shoes, taking off camelback, helmet and gloves and locking my bike onto the top of my truck. It took me about a half mile into the run until I really started to feel my legs and back stretch out. I ran the first 1.25 in about 11:38 which was good but I slowed down considerably in the last half. I do feel that I could have kept going to three miles without stopping which is one of my goals for the race next sunday.
