TAPER for Lonestar!!!!

TAPER for Lonestar!!!!

I needed a good stress reliever, so I thought a swim would help. Well, it did not help with the stress, but...

I HAD A PR SWIM TODAY!!!!!

FASTEST SWIM AS OF YET!!!

Now, I just hope i can do this on Sunday......

TAPER for Lonestar!!!!

Plan for today:

Swim at lunch (if I can get away from work) Managed to get out for a good therapeutic 20 lap swim. I think this is the very best way to spend lunch!

Brick after work Done

Tonight was the last brick before Lonestar. I took it easy on the bike and a medium/high effort on the run. I went out a bit to hard for the first mile (chasing Kiley's very fast sister). The next mile was a recovery run, then the last was back at a decent pace.

 LET THE TAPER BEGIN!!!!!!

Lonestar, here we come!!!!

Plan for today:

Swim at lunch (can't do this swim, I have a late lunch and the pool will be closed...bummer)...

Bonnie spent lunch with me. We went and had a Chai Latte.....yummy.

Plan for today:

OW swim at Twin Lakes Done

We did 2 loops around the lake. The first loop we stopped a few times at the buoys, and to talk to some other swimmers. I did not stop the timer while we stopped, so that is wht the time was a bit slow.

The second time around we did it nonstop. We also put our Garmins in our swim caps (keeps them out of the water so the GPS still syncs up) for the second loop. It is about 1/2 mile around the lake if you stay on the outside of ALL of the buoys.

It was good to get one more OW wetsuit swim in before Lonestar 1/4 next week....

Let the taper for Lonestar begin!!!

I decided to go for a run at the last minute.

Took the nature trail for an out and back 5 miler. Not too bad of a run....
