  • 02m 12s /100 yards

OWS at Lake Pflugerville
Wore the wetsuit but probably shouldn't have as I got a little warm. Swam two of the 1000m laps and 1 500m lap.

Lap 1 (1000M) 23:10
Lap 2 (1000M) 24:30
Lap 3 (500M) 12:55

I have learned that when I do open water swims, I probably swim an extra 2-300m. I zig and I zag and for the life of me cannot keep a straight line, even when sighting often. I definitely plan on getting out to the lake once a week for an OWS if I can.

The waves heading out were smacking me in the head and face. Coming back wasn't as tough. Waves beat me up and I need to get use to it as the swim of IMFL will be full of waves.

I have also been told that swimming across the lake and back is just shy of 1 mile, so hopefully by end of summer and will be swimming back and forth across the lake a few times.

Bike
  • 49m 31s
  • 14.21 miles
  • 17.21 Mi/hr

After the OWS, I rode the Lake Pflugerville Tri bike course. I need to do this more often as well. It's not a bad course and has some good false flats and short climbs. It will be good practice for IMFL. Plus, I want to beat my time on the bike course from last year's tri.

Was suppose to go an hour, but needed to get home. And I will be doing an 80 mile bike ride this weekend instead of just a 2 hour ride as my schedule calls for, so I don't feel guilty cutting this ride a little short.

My "off" day, but I had to do something before leaving for Madison's volleyball games.

Bike
  • 45m 36s
  • 12.12 miles
  • 15.94 Mi/hr

Since it was such a short ride, I thought about staying in the neighborhood, but decided to head out on the country roads instead. I'm glad I did.

Run
  • 15m
  • 1.61 miles
  • 09m 19s /Mi

Brick run.
I was drenched when done. At least it was only 15 minutes.

Sport
  • Yoga
  • 1h 00m

As if I wasn't hot enough from the bike and run, the air conditioner at yoga was not working right and yoga turned into a sweatfest as well.

Run
  • 1h 00m
  • 5.85 miles
  • 10m 15s /Mi

I definitely need to rearrange the order of my workouts. Summer is practically here and running at 4:30 in the afternoon just isn't going to happen much longer. It was in the 90s and extremely humid for this run. I was able to run 35 minutes straight, but I did have to take a few walk breaks the last 25 minutes. Heat, humidity and I don't do well together.

Swim
  • 18m 42s
  • 850.00 yards
  • 02m 12s /100 yards

A huge storm blew through during the swim and we got kicked out of the pool due to lightning. At first they said just a 30 minute delay so I waited, but then they said they were closing the pool for the night. Bummer!

500 warmup in 10:50
250 pull buoy in 5:10
100 in drills (1:34, 1:08)

I was really disappointed this swim got cancelled since I missed a swim last week due to the ingrown toenail. I could tell on the warmup that it had been a week since I swam last. I'm hoping the weather holds out and I can get an OWS in on Thursday.

Since the schedule called for an hour run today, I wanted to get in the full 60 minutes, even if it wasn't all at once.

Trainer

Was planning on getting out this morning, but storms rolled through last night. Roads were slick and wind gusts were up to 25mph first thing. If I had known my son's soccer game was going to get cancelled, I would have waited and rode outside as the day turned out to be beautiful. Oh well, I got it done early and got it out of the way.
