Run commute with the Mrs. to go pick up paint samples from Menards. Saved probably $0.25 in gas! ;)

Phew. That includes the ride to and the ride of the time trial (40K again). My time is roughly 1:14:40-ish for an average speed of 19.94mph. I put the disc on the rear for this ride today and I think that combined with the recovery week last week helped carry me to a faster avg speed this week from last week. Got to the start house and they had already started sending off riders. Tom asked what my average was going to be and I told him 19 so he sent me right away. I had time to clip out, tell him my avg. clip back in and go! haha

I didn't really plan any sort of strategy. On the way there I felt that the wind was basically coming out of the North, and all but a few miles of the course were from West to East, so I knew cross winds might be a factor with the disc but it wasn't as bad as I had expected. Going North from Roca Rd through Bennet was tough and I started getting calf cramps near the top of that Bennet hill so I dialed it back for a few miles. Otherwise I just pretty much went by feel and always found myself well into the low 200s for wattage whenever I would look down at it.

Brynn brought the little boys down to the finish line which was less than a mile from our house and that was super funny to see them yelling and cheering for us as we finished. I could hear them loud and clear when I finished even though we were across a four-lane HWY with a median. She said that they cheered for everybody and said that some people even gave a little wave or a fist pump when they heard them. Can't wait for IMKS to have them out there spectating the course!

Took the boy on a bike ride because he's been wanting to go for a few days now and we just have been super busy. He rode my Trek while I took the P2 and we went on that 17+mile loop that I found that goes on trails for 90% of the way. He had to wear my bike shoes which are a couple sizes too big, so hopefully he will want to save up and get new shoes that fit him and a new bike that fits him too!

Swim

• 17m 48s
• 951.00 yards
• 01m 52s /100 yards

Open water swimming at Wagon Train! Did the Garmin-in-plastic-baggie-inside-plastic-baggie-inside-swim-cap trick and it worked like a charm! Going through my splits it seems like from each corner buoy to the other it's only about 83 yards or so, which is pretty small for a beach swimming area. Oh well. It's close and it's warm enough to swim it without a wetsuit (although it is pretty darn chilly in some spots).

My swimming was 95% straight. Every time I sighted except for maybe three times I was heading toward my target and only ended up sighting maybe every 20-24 strokes. Hopefully that's a sign of things to come.

Ran with Brynn & The Poon. Decided to turn off the HR alarm and the time alarm and run the whole way. Penny actually was the one who created the recovery intervals, needing to poop, then we had to wait for cars before crossing the HWY, then we had to stop for her to wade in the pond by the heart hospital, then she had to pee, then we turned around, then she went slow for a few minutes, then she had to drink out of the sprinkler, then stop at the lake again, so we had all kind of stops and breaks and rests. None more than maybe 30 seconds, but still. One of my faster runs avg pace-wise in a while. My Wenesday runs are also going to be without the run/walk intervals to try and build up my running fitness that way as well, now that I'm basically running injury & pain-free.

Accidentally forgot to change it from bike mode to run mode.

Bike #1

Ride with Goosie to Culver's where we shared a banana split!

Bike #2

• 28m 39s
• 4.85 miles
• 10.16 Mi/hr

Ride with Goosie to the park and then home after Culver's. Goosie is the name we use to refer to our 2 y/o. His name is basically the Hebrew version of "Joseph" so being the linguists we are we started playing around with it, and eventually he became "Goosie" or "The Goose" or "Ghoulie". He's totally cool with all of those names :)
