Swim
  • 31m 18s
  • 1309.00 yards
  • 02m 23s /100 yards

Open water form swim w/wetsuit, easy, 31 mins, 1309 yds.
WU: 238 yds warm up in 4:33 (1:55s)
MS: 5 x 119 (east-west, west-east) on 30 sec rest (2:08s, 1:53s, 2:13s, 1:54s, 2:10s--heh, can you tell which way the waves were coming from?).  238 yards of catch-up, well not all 238 yds, but I did the best I could in open water, 2:21s.  100 fast (1:45 whoo hoo--I love wetsuits!).
CD: Then 100 yards easy cool down (2:15s).

So, I've got the Leader frame coming in (2006 735TT in RED):  img453bd74be5bab.jpg picture by salparco
This is the 780TT, but you get the idea...:)

I've got bids in for Ultegra cranks and BB, front and rear derailleurs, and a seatpost (this is fun...:)).

Planning on an open water swim with wetsuit after work (1/2 day...last week of summer hours).

Run
  • 44m 27s
  • 4.31 miles
  • 10m 18s /Mi

Ehhh...fairly slow run tonight.  15 min in Z1 (136), 15 min in Z2 (146), 10 min in Z3 (153), 5 min in Z1 (136).  Somewhat hot and muggy tonight.  Sorry for the lack of inspires...frame shopping has distracted me lately...:)

Swim
  • 25m 25s
  • 1000.00 yards
  • 02m 32s /100 yards

Beautiful California-esque weather the rest of this week.  Which is good for the big 4 family bike ride going on this weekend at the Cannon Falls trail.  Looking forward to it... 

Easy swim.  25:26 min.  1000 yds total.
WU: 200 yds (3:32, new PR for me 1:46s).
MS: 8 x 50 on 30 sec rest ( 48, 49, 49, 47, 48, 49, 48, 53).  Much better day for me...probably because of all the chatting I did between sets.  Three other triathletes training this morning.  2 of whom are doing the Square Lake sprint next month.  200 yards of drills (right arm only, left arm only, catch-up, bi-lateral) 4:40.  4 x 25 yards fast with 15 sec rest (23, 25, 27, 26)...not so fast... 
CD: 100 yards easy cool down (1:56).

August 28

Bike
  • 41m
  • 12.00 miles

Bike Hill Repeats for lunch on the Lemond at the Ridgedale Y.  I like the Lemonds.  I can adjust the seat and aero bars to exactly where I ride on my road bike.  Strength work.  41 min.
WU: 13 min in Z1-Z2 (137 max).
MS: Then 5 x 2 min up a hill (higher resistance) at 65-70 RPMs. Recover on the downhills. Target HR on the uphills <Z4 (153).  Actual max HR 163.  Otherwise in Z1-Z2 the rest of the ride (137 max).
CD: 14 min.
