Wow, my legs have not felt this terrible in a long time. Was it the track session? Or the 40 mile hard bike ride? Or the 11 mile run? Hmm...who knows?! :) Easy, easy spin, average power 140.

Good swim today. I even practiced flip turns! I am so absolutely terrible at it, it's hysterical. At least I didn't whack my head!

Another fun weekend on tap!! I can't believe Pigman is next weekend. Eeek!

Run
  • 37m 16s
  • 5.41 miles

Track workout with the family! Ryan and Cody came to the track with me. It was a blast! Cody ran laps for a while, then she decided to just run back and forth at the middle of the track, and try to 'herd' me off the track on every lap. Hehe. I expended a lot of energy yelling at her, and then trying not to laugh at her antics. I friggin' love that dog.

Ryan is an animal on that bike. I can't stand it! I want to puncture his tires, so he stops riding faster than me. WHAAAAA!!! I've been doing this longer! It's not fair :) hehe. Maybe I'll make him swim with me tonight, just so I can crush his soul in the water :) Oh, and it's official- we are both registered for Austin 70.3 and Breakwater!! That was a whole shit-ton of money that we just spent this month...omigod.

HOT! Well, I got what I asked for!! This run was eventful. I saw: kids feeding a trumpeter swan right out of their hands, a GIANT tortoise on the bike path covered in moss, and part of my lunch contents on the grass, ew. Stomach wasn't happy, even though I waited 2 hours post-lunch. Gr.

This ride started out kind of blah- mainly because my stomach was pissed, but it finally got better and my legs cooperated. Good ride!

Long run, hard ride today. I'm saving my run for mid-day so I can get used to the heat. This was the coldest July since the 60's. Bizzar-o. Poison Ivy is almost gone, luckily. And no, I was not sniffing the grass with Cody :) I think I got it on a shoe, touched the shoe, then touched my cheek, nose and ear. I'm not that allergic, so it isn't bad. It just looked like I got punched for a couple of days.

Run
  • 21m 36s
  • 2.60 miles
  • 08m 18s /Mi

Easy run with drills. hehe, I love kicking up my feet while I'm running by all the walkers around the river. They all openly stare at me- so funny!

Swim
  • 28m
  • 1500.00 yards
  • 01m 52s /100 yards

My arms are made of bricks! Cut this one short. Form was completely off, and I just couldn't get into it.

Bike
  • 1h 55m
  • 38.32 miles
  • 19.99 Mi/hr

Easy ride. The friggin' wind is unreal here. It's never too out of control, but it is so constant! We were talking to some kite-boarded at the lake today, and he said that it's the windiest summer he's ever experienced- which is great for him! My legs are cooked. Couldn't do my make-up brick- I had to eat lunch and finish my grant. Go away grant! Go away itchy face!! :)

Swim
  • 30m
  • 2000.00 yards
  • 01m 30s /100 yards

OWS at Trout Lake- the most beautiful place on earth. We saw a turtle swimming around and followed him for a bit. So cool!! I really want a water proof camera for our next swim.

I have poison Ivy on my face :(

Bike
  • 3h 29m
  • 72.50 miles

Great ride! Ryan and I did 6 loops at ILRA, just so we could avoid cars, mainly. It was a great time. Legs felt solid the whole time.
Average power: 160.

Run
  • 10m
  • 1.35 miles
  • 07m 24s /Mi

Decent brick. Was supposed to be longer, but I was really nervous about my legs- they felt a little shaky, and I do not want to be injured.
