August 5

Swim #1
  • 15m 04s
  • 820.00 yards
  • 01m 50s /100 yards

started front and center, but couldn't hang with the fast ladies; settled in at a moderate/fast pace

sighting was good, navigation just ok: tended to be too wide right

T0: 0:30
swim to beach, run across to the pier, run down the pier and then jump back in to start the 2nd lap

Swim #2
  • 15m 37s
  • 824.99 yards
  • 01m 54s /100 yards

had trouble composing myself and getting going with the second lap: tried to protect my goggles for the BIG jump back in, but they got a bit squashed onto my face; after I got that fixed, I felt like my heart was racing and that I was breathing too hard. I figure I lost about 30 seconds getting my head back into the swim and my face back into the water

this is the pier we had to run out on and jump back in from:

August 4

very unusual to have a tailwind out; didn't expect to come back into the wind as fast as I did

Run
  • 17m 58s
  • 2.00 miles
  • 08m 58s /Mi

didn't quite hit my goal pace in the first mile, but ended up under for the second

this was getting hard by the end

Make this a tempo run. Run at a pace that makes you breathe a little hard, but not all out panting. Start a little easy then pick up the pace and keep it steady. I’m not giving you a pace on purpose. Let’s see what that pace ends up being

August 1

  • 1h 00m 10s
  • 13.20 miles

ran nice n easy until the last mile, then did the :30 sprint/:30 easy

Keep a 10:00-11:00 mm pace overall. This should be your long, slow, distance (LSD) run.

For the last 10 minutes- do :30 sprint, :30 easy jog or walk.
