April 1
Nothing. Drove down the Coronado Island for a few day. Staying at Del Cornado. Have a perfect room with a balcony overlooking the Ocean. Going to dinner tonight with some friends that moved out her and having lunch tomorrow with another friend that moved out here. Need to figure out a way to move out here. So sick of Illinois and Chicago. Overall pretty sore. Body held up well. Mainly my hips and back are stiff.

Oceanside Swim. Not sure what it is, but when I swim open water I am so much slower than in a pool. Granted it was pretty choppy, but I need to work on OWS.
Bike
- 2h 59m 01s

Rode through a marine layer the whole time. It was a mixture of drizzle and rain. My poor bike looked like I went mountain biking. Happy with the time, considering how careful I had to ride.
Run
- 2h 01m 27s
- 13.10 miles
- 09m 16s /Mi
Ankle held up nicely. Just didn't have the run fitness to get under 2 hours. Tried to push it the last 3 miles, but my left hamstring was on the verge of cramping so I had to back off the pace some. Overall happy with it considering all the issues I dealt with.
5:52 and change for Oceanside today. Happy with the results considering the conditions. Had a heavy duty marine layer for the entire ride. My poor bike looks like I went mountain biking with it. It is a mess.

Drove down from Dana Point to Oceanside. All registered and am now just chilling waiting for tomorrow. I'm most excited to actually finish the race and then rock some In and Out Burger.

Bronchitis and a sinus infection. On a zPack. Hope it knocks it out of me in a couple of days. Think it all came about as allergy related issues. This is the suffering I get from the quick spring.
