Urban adventure bike ride today. Rode from my place, down Bayshore, and then turned around at 22:30. Made it back before 45 minutes so I ran the difference.
- 18m 52s
- 2.52 miles
- 07m 29s /Mi
Run after biking. It was hot out. Figured since I went less than 45 minutes, I needed to make up the difference so I had an hour of workouts today.
Today is gonna be ONE OF THOSE DAYS...definitely not the birthday I envisioned. Work, then an hour brick, then work, then more work. Finally, tonight after lots of...yes, work...I might get to go out and have a drink with some friends for my birthday...but who knows if I'll be shot to hell by then.
THANKS FOR ALL THE BIRTHDAY WISHES!!!

Trainer ride with a training DVD...intervals. Power intervals, speed intervals, and HR intervals. Good stuff.

Awesome swim today at CLW Beach with Renee. No waves, no current, only a small amount of wind. It was nice to see what I could do with no outside challenges.
600 south - 931
600 north - 915
600 south - 1021 (went off course, forgot to sight)
600 north - 922
No wetsuit today. Just a speedo. The water didn't give me extra challenges today, so it was nice to know I've become stronger and more confident in the open water.
0835 - On the schedule today...1 hour bike (I think I'll do it on the trainer to a Spinervals DVD) and then some swimming at the beach!

I have to admit, I'm a little wary of CdA now. I feel like I'm just gonna bomb again. I have 5 good weeks of training to get where I need to be. 2 weeks of taper should get me rested enough to make it fun and not a slow slog like yesterday.

HOLY WAVES!!! Slow swim pace for me, but it was pretty crazy out there...much more wavy than anything I swam in during the past few weeks. Even so...it was a blast!! I enjoyed every seconds of it.
- 2h 37m 37s
- 56.00 miles
- 21.32 Mi/hr
HOLY WIND!!! Big 20mph headwind for the first 12 or so miles. Then crosswinds and tailwind for the rest of the day. Fun bike...felt good, nutrition was spot on.
- 2h 02m 30s
- 13.10 miles

Run started out great. Breezy and overcast. Then around Mile 4 the sun came out and the humidity went crazy. The wind went away and I started overheating...my heart rate spiked and I just fell apart. Stomach cramps etc. At least my legs weren't the problem this time. Yay. It was 92 degrees when I left PCB at 130pm...I finished after 12pm, so it must have been about this temp when I finished.
0425 - Yet another race day. I am looking forward to the summer when I don't have to prepare for a race every few weeks. It'll be nice to get back to TRAINING. One nice thing is that I have a whole 6 weeks til CdA so I can actually train. Yay!
OK, half iron time. Let's get this done. I'm hoping for anything better than my last HIM time which was a pretty bad day. Disney 2008 was a 5:27. Hopefully I can improve on that today. I'd love a sub 5 but I feel like 5:15 is a better target for today given my year so far.

0545 - Leaving for PCB today! Missed my 0530 target but I wanted to sleep a little longer. I should be on the road in about 15 minutes. No workouts today except for maybe a little swim later when I get there. It's the same swim course as IMFL so it's not like I'm not familiar with it. I just wanna see how the water feels and how warm it is. The forecast says very light winds and nice temp for tomorrow. Not sure if we'll get to wear wetsuits. Still no word on the oil spill and if it will affect the Florida Panhandle yet. Guess we'll see tomorrow. Time to go!

Ran with a girl from the Feet First running group. She was pretty consistent. I analyzed her running style as she ran. It was good for me to get moving at least. Haven't run really at all lately. Just trying to get my legs fully recovered before starting IM training.
- 30m
Just some easy back, bi's, and core stuff with John. Light weights, 15 reps of everything. No work at all really.
Today, I have to pack and get everything ready, in addition to working ALL THREE of my jobs. Long day. Going to bed as early as possible today so I can be out of here by 0530 tomorrow. I wanna be up in PCB by noon.

Processing your request, please wait...
This was three hours of fighting the wind. It was like one long three hour hill. I could never just relax and spin or coast. As soon as I stopped working, my speed would go to from 19 something to 17 or 16 something. Relentless out there today. It was mostly a crosswind which never let me just relax and ride. But a GREAT training day...gained endurance for sure!!
Run off the bike. Felt good, but then it always does for those first few miles. It's when I get further than 4 miles lately that my bonks have been happening. This was a good pace though, it felt nice. It's way faster than I'd even think of going at CdA next month.
