Night swim in back yard.

Holly called to say that she just introduced Jessica Biel (Holly played poker with her at a "celebrity" tournament) to our friend the Mayor.  I'm home watching "My Name is Earl."  And I'm much happier than if I had been dragged to the party.

Went out to the backyard for a night swim, and got an adrenaline kick just because it was a little weird out there.  The pool lights seemed to have an eerie effect, and swimming in my birthday suit was just a bit creepy.  So, I gave up after 10 minutes and came in early enough to catch the news, where apparently the biggest thing to happen in Denver today was the arrest of this whack job around the JonBenet Ramsey case.

Just a crazy day.  I need to get back into the sanity of training.  With the swim from Alcatraz to SF, a marathon, and an Ironman event coming up, I probably should seriously get cranking....

Kevin cancelled weight training session this morning.  Big day in office.  Drinks with Brad after work, and then dinner with Holly and Nick.  Matt feeling a bit odd, which is a concern.

Great staff meeting in Phoenix.  Flight to Denver cancelled by United, but next flight out of here still gets me home in time to make it to the Rockies game (by the 4th inning, anyway).  I think I'll skip all triathlon training today, and eat junk food instead.

Bike
  • 30m
  • 7.50 miles
  • 15.00 Mi/hr

Just your basic easy ride around the neighborhood.

Bike
  • 2h 53m 52s
  • 56.00 miles
  • 19.32 Mi/hr

Good race pace, which includes throwing a chain.

Run
  • 2h 01m 45s
  • 13.10 miles
  • 09m 17s /Mi

Proudest moment came when I gave a struggling 20-year-old my Gu.

Swim
  • 40m 04s
  • 1931.21 meters
  • 02m 04s /100 meters

Why, really, is swimming in a mob part of triathlon? Shouldn't this just be something they do on "Fear Factor?"

OK.  Well... great race.  Managed to make sub-6 hour goal with 5:42.

Off to St. Louis tomorrow.

Bike
  • 20m 45s
  • 5.15 miles
  • 14.89 Mi/hr

Really easy ride around neighborhood. Equipment checked out fine. Just need to clean bike and inflate tires.

Run
  • 20m
  • 2.60 miles
  • 07m 41s /Mi

Fun run around neighborhood with a couple of easy intervals. Ready to go, I guess.

Swim
  • 20m
  • 1000.00 meters
  • 02m /100 meters

Nice little tune-up. Felt fine. Practiced easy sighting.

Not overly thrilled with training leading up to 1/2 Ironman tomorrow, but I'll be able to finish, anyway.  I'll just be participating, not racing, but it will be a good strong workout en route to season finale Ironman event (hopefully, if I'm in the country).

Need to head up to Boulder now to pick up race packet.

 Going to the Rockies game tonight.  That's probably a good way to get ready for a 6:30am start!

 Motto for tomorrow: Pleasure over Speed: Fast equals Slow, and Fun equals Victory.
