Quick bike after mowing the yard...estimated distance through the neighborhoods...

this was really weird...I was riding a route close to some streets I was familiar with. On one of the sides of the route I thought I was on a street I'd never been on before. I rode that stretch probably 5 times tonight and on the last one realized it was a road I drive EVERY day!! Really weirded me out...

Swim
  • 45m
  • 1900.00 yards
  • -----

Time is estimated, we swam and talked. However, I did get in a couple hard 500's. New PR in 500...broke 10 minutes (9:54). And think I swam my fastest 100 so far...1:38.

Good verse today...

God,....has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds; who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, (Hebrews 1:1-3)

Didn't get my long run in over the weekend so ran a little further this morning. Goal was to keep it under a 10mpm pace. Longest run so far with a pace under 10. Felt like I could have done a couple more :-)

Verrry hilly course south of Smithville. Biked with Dave B...(estimated time...we stopped a couple of times to visit and for a mechanical problem)

  • 10m /Mi

Quick run before my sons ballgame. Got stopped by a train...so the time is estimated.

Swim
  • 45m
  • 1600.00 yards
  • -----

w/u - 300

c/d - 300

Got talking to someone ... lost track of time. Think it was 45 minutes.

I'm happy with my times in the 100's. The first one was 1:48...it's fun to see the times gradually go down. Don't know how much more I have in me though.

OK...I'm on a shopping spree :-)  

Bought a pair of tri shorts at the local bike shop.  Looked online for a couple of days.  But after paying shipping it would be about the price of buying them locally.  Decided to support the shop since they do a good job of customer service and have a good selection of "stuff". 

WON'T try these on at home as my kids will harass me to no end!!!!!   First time they or my wife will see them will be at the race.   They even freak me out a little bit :-)

May 18

Finished final today, finance team meeting tonight, time to get back at it tomorrow....

Found a shirt that will work for racing...not a tri-top as such, but made out of the same material.  Basically a compression shirt....$9.99 at Dick's Sporting Goods. I love a deal  :-)
