nice and easy Team TriBal track wo. Asthma was awful. I'll take 2 inhalers to the race Sunday just in case. I have a pace cheat sheet now -- Julia is going to kick me into shape -- woo hoo!
- Stretching
- 30m
Dinner: malt vinegar potato chips and sour cream w/ Coke chaser, milk and ginger snaps for dessert -- mm mm goood!
woo hoo -- just realized I have an hour and a half massage scheduled for tomorrow and then the chiro -- I'll be all loose and aligned for Sunday :)
It's official - I won my AG Sunday in spite of a horrendous swim. The 2 who place ahead of me only ran 1 lap, not 2. One of them would have beat me if she had finished the run. She beat me by 6 minutes on the swim -- yes, my swimming sux!! Apparently they changed the course from what was posted on the website, but since I didn't sign up til the morning of the race, I didn't know otherwise and did what the race director told us before the race. I wore my Garmin on the run just to make sure I ran far enough because it was a weird 2 lap run.

How bizarre. New blood results back and thyroid and iron are normal, altho iron is on low end of normal, which is what I expected before the Channel 9 Health Fair results came in w/ weird #s. So back to my spinach salads -- yay! And Good Times once in a while too -- double yay!! And the doc said not to worry about the other high #s, including the cholesterol. So why did she tell me to have my blood tested? So I could worry a lot about nothing? They can't, however, tell me why I'm always tired. So guess I just need to htfu :)
To no one's surprise but my own, swimming 3 out of 4 days in a row has made me more comfortable in the water. Or maybe it's just that there were no waves or wind or wetsuit to deal w/ today. And much less chatting. Took 5 mins off my 2000 yd time. People are weird at the warm pool tho -- they just wander into your lane from the wading pool. And only one of them was a kid! So there were some breaks for them to get out of the way and for lane changes when they didn't. And a couple short breaks when Ted's attention span hit its limit. He likes to scare the $hit out of me by swimming along the bottom of the pool underneath me. Or practice open water races by swimming over my legs or grabbing my feet. What a jokesta.

21:46:25 easy spin on trainer watching Bones and House and eating everything in sight.
This week's focus: Sleep, stretch, short Z1 training sessions, eating and drinking water. Pretty lofty goals there. I'm going to enjoy this.

woo hoo -- did Littlefoot today and placed 2nd in AG. At least that's the ribbon they gave me. Website results say 3rd, but the 2 women that beat me only did half the run, so we'll see. Durn swim was longer/harder than last year so only beat my overall time by about a minute. Swim was 3 entire minutes slower than last year >( I am going to learn how to swim dammit!!!
Should get in the shower and go to Boulder w/ the fam to see K. Hope she's packed and ready to come home.....

Gravel pond, sandbar and back. Forgot to use my inhaler again so swam real easy -- it's not like I can pull over til I catch my breath in the middle of the pond if I start wheezing. Think I'll tie my goggles onto the inhaler so I can't forget again.
