Will ride my bike tonight. Now were did I put those training wheels... Still haven't signed up for Camp Whitcomb yet. Also thinking about maybe doing Oshkosh instead. Or I might do neither. I am pretty indecisive. or am I?

UPDATE I don't know, somedays, I think everybody would be better off, if I just parked my bike in the garage and just left it there forever.

ez pace

Looks like another run on the docket tonight. Speaking of running, I thought that life was supposed to slow down in summer. I need a vacation.

UPDATE sometimes my body is smarter than my mind. Supposed to be ez pace (9:10-9:20), but told myself, no way, I'm doing this sub nine pace. Nope, body had other ideas. Didn't fight it though and went with the flow.

recovery run

Still don't have warm fuzzies over yesterday's race. Kind of like the old saying, 'you get what you pay for.' If you don't pay the price, you are not going to get the results.

Swim

33m 47s
1640.00 yards
02m 03s /100 yards

eh. Let's face it, I'm a crappy swimmer

Bike

1h 18m 58s
25.00 miles
19.00 Mi/hr

About 30 seconds slower than last year. As much as I have neglected my bike this year, that is ok. HR too low for OLY, that is my HIM HR

Run

50m 31s
6.20 miles
08m 09s /Mi

run through the slop
HR way too low for a race. Loafed it too much for what I am capable of. Still a PR and 2 seconds off my fastest 10k (including stand alone) ever.

About what I expected, which isn't necessarily a good thing. Not a clunker, but not an "A" performance. 2:47. About 5 minutes slower than last year. This year's swim about 5.5 minutes slower (longer course this year). Other wise would have been a PR. Still didn't earn a PR today. Looking at my HR for effort, More like a Sunday workout, than Race worthy effort. Still a nice day and enjoyed spending time with my friends as they all collected their hardware.
