November 30

Swim
  • 17m
  • 600.00 meters
  • -----

I can't believe these words are coming from me, but: I was bored so I went swimming. Not for very long, but still. Just worked on some drills.

Smells like dog food outside - must mean snow is on the way. I called about my HRM which is being fixed - the shop called Polar who said another 2-4 weeks at a minimum. After 6 weeks already. To fix a button on the side that fell off. This is ridiculous, I am officially upset with Polar. No work or workouts today. What to do, what to do...

Run
  • 1h 00m
  • 6.08 miles
  • 09m 52s /Mi

1st 1/2 - LT-30
2nd 1/2 - 15"-20"/mile faster
last 4'-5' fast cruise.

Had to give myself a little kick but it was ok once I got going. Hip flexors were a little tight but not bad. Pace felt faster than it turned out but I wanted to be sure to keep it easy since I am still without the HRM.

Swim
  • 46m 38s
  • 1550.00 meters
  • -----

wu: 300 mixed
ms: 5x(4x25 drills, 50 swim)
200, 100 pull, 200, 100 paddle, 200
cd: 250 mixed

Wasn't really feeling it thru the warmup but I felt better during the drills. I forgot the paddles again so I stopped there.

Made it to the pool before work. I know I'm going to have to get used to this working out in the morning thing, but it is rough. At least I have tomorrow off so I can sleep in. 1hr run tonight.

  • -----

wu: 400, 6x50 (:15)
ms: 10 x 100 T-5" (:15)
cd: 300

Yesterdays swim. Made it thru 1500 before I gave up on the other people in the lane. I was splitting a lane when this girl just got in & started swimming & went head first into the other guy. When we got circling she went right down the middle & wouldn't let anyone pass. Then a new guy gets in & starts kicking, which is fine but he stopped 3 times going down the lane. Then another girl got in the lane and instead of circling counter-clockwise like the other 3 of us in the lane she decided to go down the right side & then return hugging the right rope. That's when I shook my head & got out.

Thanks for the notes about Sheila. The house is quiet without her flopping in the bowl. Going to try & make up last nights swim and then bike tonight.

November 27

Run
  • 45m
  • 4.67 miles
  • 09m 38s /Mi

z1-2 scenery run

Took it easy to try & go easy on my foot (which was bothering me over the weekend) & it was fine. Otherwise it was kind of nice out there.

The bike fit went well. Got my current bike dialed in (mainly raised the seat & lowered the bars) & its a good fit for me. He recommended a few other bikes for me to test ride - I won't get more power but I can get a more aero position with a bike with a shorter reach. I can get a better position with a different frame but with my build I'll only get an ideal fit with a custom jobbie, ie Guru. So, how come ducks don't get frostbite on their legs? That water is cold! Oh, and there is something wrong with the heat at my place because it was cold this morning. I think it pushed Sheila over the edge because she died overnight. Run and/or swim tonight. I'll probably only do one.

Met Linda at REI & rode out to the CC dam & back. It was a good, low key z1-2 ride but it was C-O-L-D out. Not sure about the time.

John Butler had a cold but it was still a great time. I have some riding to do today.
