Little, ez run before tri goup run. It is hot (almost 90) and humid. Breezy, though. South on path to HCP and back with loop by gas station.

  • 3.77 miles
  • 09m 54s /Mi

Final run with tri group. So sad to end the training program, but so excited for their race.

May 1 and it is summertime hot! I love cool weather running, but have to admit I loved the heat and sweat today. Didn't run hard or far, so that probably made a difference. 

Lots of work and not enough time (as usual), so I adjusted my training for the week to start taper earlier than I had planned. I was going to just go with a 1-week taper plan.  Figured that might work better for the stacked race season. I may get some more time on the bike, but I've planned for less to reduce the overall stress load.

1200 broken by 400s with 10sr: #1 z1, #2 z2, #3 z3
3x100 with bands
300 paddles and bull buoy

I have no idea how long that swim was. Somewhere between 50 and 55 minutes, but I kept forgetting to start my watch and then I would get it backwards (started it when I stopped, or stopped it when I started). I probably should have gone with the full 2900 of the original workout (which I had modified anyway to work on a couple of different things). Ah well. I still had a very good workout.

April 29

Bike
  • 1h 24m 55s
  • 22.74 miles
  • 16.06 Mi/hr

Tired and oh, so slow. North on the Trace. Still a bit breezy. But beautiful.

Run
  • 29m 09s
  • 3.00 miles
  • 09m 43s /Mi

Round the hood after the bike ride. This felt much slower.

Really? I have to ride the bike again tomorrow? Ouch.

April 28

  • 16.39 Mi/hr

Bike #2
  • 2h 25m 37s
  • 40.34 miles
  • 16.62 Mi/hr

South on the Trace. Pretty windy for first half. Only 15.5 mph first hour. Definitely picked up speed and was averaging 18+ on the way back, but still slower than I wanted overall. Pffft.

Run
  • 18m 52s
  • 2.00 miles
  • 09m 25s /Mi

Hard run off the bike. I need to slow down.

April 27

Run
  • 53m 28s
  • 5.46 miles
  • 09m 47s /Mi

Supposed to be a speed workout, but still feeling kinda' punky, altho not as clunky as Tue. So, just an easy run 'round the 'hood.

  • 1h 03m
  • 2734.00 yards
  • 02m 18s /100 yards

Argh. I had to cut my workout slightly short 'cause I was too cold to keep going. I like swimming at the "other" pool sometimes. They set up long course for about 6 weeks on Fridays, and it's really nice. But, even though when I get in the water seems cool but fine, I get progressively colder and my legs and feet go crazy cramping after awhile. Most of my workout this afternoon was with the pool buoy. 

I will keep swimming there, but I am going to have to do shorter workouts so I can get in and out before I freeze.
