April 4

Run
  • 1h 00m
  • 5.50 miles

Had originally decided to take the day off and enjoy Easter, but after church and a nap, felt I needed to do something. Treadmill run.

April 3

Bike
  • 2h 38m 03s
  • 43.98 miles
  • 16.70 Mi/hr

Ride with the TNT cycle team from Manor to Elgin to Copeland and back through Pflugerville where I cut over to Dalton's soccer game. I would have liked to have gone further, but this was all I could get in before his game. And I have the most awesome cycle teammates. I was riding with two of our faster guys and toward the end, they blocked the wind for me so we could go faster and they took me to the fields to make sure I got there safe before they rejoined the team.

trainer ride w/gatorade to drink

I was off of work today for Good Friday so I took advantage of that by sleeping in. I was originally planning on getting in a long ride outside, but the forecast was for storms and high winds. The storms didn't come, but the winds did. There is a point where the risk of getting out in the winds at this point in training is not worth the risk of crashing and injury, so I decided to stay inside. I know that on race day it could be windy, but wind gusts of 20-30mph is not something to mess with. So I altered my plans and went swimming, hoping that the winds would die down. Around 3:30, they were still pretty bad and I was afraid if I waited any longer I would not get the ride done, so I got on the trainer.

April 1

Run
  • 1h 00m
  • 6.27 miles
  • 09m 34s /Mi

Low 80s and very windy. Wind gusts of 15-20mph but I got it done. HR shows the effort was harder than it should have been.

March 31

Run
  • 30m
  • 3.20 miles
  • 09m 22s /Mi

Another day with temps in the low 80s and lots of wind.

Swim
  • 1h 04m 52s
  • 3000.00 yards
  • 02m 09s /100 yards

500 warm up in 10:18
200 pull buoy in 4:08
300 drills (1:50, 1:08, 1:39, 1:18, 1:21, 1:06)
5 x 300 (6:09, 6:14, 6:20, 6:24, 6:31)
500 pull buoy in 10:25

I could tell I was getting tired as the workout went on. Plus the pool was really crowded tonight and it normally isn't. I was sharing a lane, but kept watching to see if a 3rd person was going to jump in and have to do circle swim, which I don't really like.

Sport
  • Walking
  • 21m 52s

1.4 miles of walking the dog
HR ave 124 / max 136

I kept my garmin on for this because I wanted to see where my heart rate fell in relation to my zones from the VO2 test. As expected, low Zone 1.

March 30

Run #1
  • 30m
  • 3.20 miles
  • 09m 22s /Mi

Temps in the low 80s, but very windy. Body needs to get used to the heat again.

  • 14m 15s /Mi

cool down walk back to the house after the run

March 29

Bike
  • 45m 18s
  • 10.19 miles
  • 13.50 Mi/hr

Beautiful day, so I wanted to ride outside, but I wasn't in the mood to do my normal route. I ended up staying in the neighborhood, which explains the very low mph average. Lots of stop signs. Sometimes you need the leisurely ride.

Swim
  • 1h 07m 50s
  • 3200.00 yards
  • 02m 07s /100 yards

Longest swim to date.

500 warm up in 10:25
200 pull buoy in 4:09
300 drills (1:40, 1:10, 1:21, 1:20 and 2:20 for last 100)
5 x 200 (4:06, 4:16, 4:12, 4:12, 4:13)
10 x 100 (2:03, 2:01, 2:00, 2:01, 2:01, 2:00, 1:59, 1:57, 1:59, 1:59)
200 pull buoy in 4:12

When I saw my 100's right at the 2:00 mark, I worked hard at the end to get under that.
