Great ride from Moss Creek out to Salisbury and back. We had Doc, Stephan, Jason, Kevin and John along for a tough hilly course. The weather started out at 36 but quickly warmed up. Luckily I fueled correctly so I could hang with the crew. Great training ride though; no issues to report.

Went into the class very tired from Sunday's race. As usual Jose did a lot of impromptu, which always makes the class harder and usually like.

April 1

Run
  • 23m 43s
  • 3.10 miles
  • 07m 39s /Mi

NEVER run barefoot with the Nike Free +. I had four very raw areas on both feet. I didn't feel it until after I was walking around afterward.

Swim
  • 04m 31s
  • 250.00 yards
  • 01m 48s /100 yards

Very comfortable with this swim, had a good time and wanted to just keep going...

Bike
  • 37m 36s
  • 12.00 miles
  • 19.14 Mi/hr

Loved the weather, very little wind and my cadence was 95 which surprised me. Just wish I was surprised by a faster time that is supposed to go with it!

The Stick, worked more on adductors.

Pre Race Meal:  INFINIT Nutrition, INFINIT Mud and a banana.

Used Heed in my aero bottle but drank very little of it.

My polar watch wasn't set correctly, something I should check on before REV3.

I only used the Garmin with the bike leg, mostly interested in my cadence in which I was trying increase.  

My peers are really stepping up the competitiveness, which gives me hope that I can still improve on my existing numbers.

Overall this was a great sprint for me and I wouldn't really change much.

I have kept my running to a minimum the past two weeks to try and "shake" my ITB injury.  Which is why I'm concentrating more on my adductors with The Stick.  I really do believe it is helping.
