September 8

Run
  • 42m 12s
  • 4.00 miles
  • 10m 33s /Mi

treadmill; still raining...hard

didn't get through all of the 2nd Z4 before I hit 2 miles.

due to a Garmin glitch I lost the first .20 miles/2.5 minutes (manually corrected above)

Run - 4 miles

W/U- 1 mile in zones 1 and 2

Cruise intervals:
• 10 min in zone 4
• 2:30 min in zone 2 (lower HR- OK if in zone 3 or upper zone 2)
• 8 min zone 4
• 2:00 min zone 2 (lower HR- OK if in zone 3 and upper zone 2)
-Go until you hit 2 miles. You will may not make it the full 2:00 mins after the 8 in interval. That is fine.

C/D- 1 mile in zones 1 and 2

Swim
  • 33m 30s
  • 1968.50 yards

September 7

Bike
  • 1h 30m 20s
  • 27.78 miles
  • 18.45 Mi/hr

Wanted to ride outside after my fitting, but the weather was way too wet. wasn't really into it, but got it done; hit the intervals at 21+mph...felt good, but with a max HR of only 98, does it really count as a workout?

Bike – 1.5 hours
Intervals:
15 minute warm up, 12-14 mph

Repeat 12 times, 1 hour
• 3 mins hard 21-23 mph
• 2 mins easy, 14-16 mph

15 minute cool down, 12-14 mph

went for a tribike fitting; the good news: everything with my fit was already good, except for my cleat position; the bad news: my indexed shifting is shot and I want more comfortable aerobars.

The shifter still works OK on friction. Is it worth the cost to replace the shifter and do new aerobars for a bike I'm only racing once a year? Also, they may be able to have it done in time for the race on the 18th if I let them know ASAP but prob without a chance to give it a good ride first.

Lap 2: 16.7mph, avg HR: 133

Run
  • 36m 24s
  • 3.01 miles
  • 12m 05s /Mi

supposed to be a Z1/Z2 run, but my HR just won't do that after a ride unless I walk pretty much the whole thing. Finally gave up and let it go into Z3. This wasn't pretty...or fun :(
