Good swim. Was planning on swimming 60 laps but was lost in the vast wilderness of my mind and swam 61. Always nice to find you swam further than you thought.

No training planned for today. Rest....and try not to eat like a pig.

August 17

Run

1h 43m 22s
10.00 miles
10m 20s /Mi

Ran with Jake the Wonder Dawg. Casey asked me how far I'd be going and I told her it was up to Jake. This run was for him and we'd go as long or as short as he wanted to go. It was cooler this morning so he did ok. I would have liked to go a little further but Jake was getting tired so we kept it at 10 mile.

This was my last hour+ workout before IMKY. Everything now will be just to keep everthing from ceasing up or getting stiff.

I'm thankful I made it to taper without injury!

Bike

2h 46m 43s
50.81 miles

Nice ride. Pushed a little harder than I probably should have but faster is so much more fun.

No breakfast and no fuel on ride; one bottle of Gatorade.

Felt twinge in right knee at 48. Hmmm Probably good that this was my last significant ride before IMKY.
