Run TT
Assess Fitness
50
After 10 minute warm up, you are going to run for 30 minutes as hard as you can for the entire 30 minutes. After starting the run, hit your 'Lap' button so you record the average HR over the last 20 minutes. This can be run on track the or measured course (flat). Record the time and get a 10 minute cool down. Stretch when done and add in Core 1, 2 or 3.
Meh.
Note to self. Do runs in the morning till you become acclimated to the heat and humidity.
This was my worst run this year. It was horrible. I pulled the plug after 10 minutes into the 20 minute LTHR portion. My legs weren't turning over at all. I couldn't get any speed going. I couldn't HTFU because I wasn't in pain, I literally couldn't get the legs going. I dug deep and nothing happened. So after that 10 minutes, I quit. Walked for 5 minutes to recover and then slowly jogged the rest of the way home.
I was soaked when I got home. Just drenched.
Good learning lesson. Oh well. I'll probably keep the LTHR numbers from the one I did a month ago because this one was so bad. 15-20 degrees warmer and lots more humidity than the last one.

WU: 500 warm up. 8 x 50 on 15 sec rest.
MS: 1000 yd TT (time trial) for time. After TT - swim a very easy 100. After easy swim -3x200 at the same effort at the TT - on 15" rest.
CD: 200 - Your TT time for the 1,000 is divided by 10 , to get your avg. pace. This pace is now known as your T-Pace.
Great swim.
First and foremost, knocked another 2 seconds off my /100 time to 1:49. Did the first 500 in 9:03 and the second in 9:10. Hoping to do better on the second 500 but oh well.
Tomorrow's LTHR run should be interesting.

Meh.
Lovely three day weekend. Learned an interesting lesson this weekend. I'm becoming a light weight when it comes to drinking. Seriously. Losing this weight has made me a total light weight. I get tipsy way too easy now. Going to seriously re-adjust my thought processes when I drink. I guess that is a good thing, in some ways. Cheap drunk and all. ;)
But made for a rough morning this morning. Was supposed to get up and lift. Well, going on about 5 hours of sleep and way too much beer watching the ball game last night made me mega tired this morning. Also still super bloated. Guess that is why I don't drink beer much anymore.
So I thought I would do it at lunch time. The day got away from me and I won't be able to get out at lunch, so no strength training for me today. Oh well. I'll do a nice little 45 minute run tonight.

12th anniversary today. Can't believe it has been that long. But it is a good thing. So much has happened to us in those 12 years. All of it good.
So we woke up late (7:30) and went up North to find a trail to ride. Found one. Won't be doing it again. Way to windy and waaaay too many people walking on it. BUT, it was perfect for Beth. Even though she didn't like it either. But it was great for her. She continued to build up her confidence. Clipped in and out without any issue, hit the hills (small though they were) without any issue. And we did the return trip 1mph faster than going out. Granted, it was still slow, but perfect for her. Want to get her confidence continued to improve.
Flip flopping my workouts to do tomorrow's today and today's tomorrow.
Going to be a tough week. LTHR tests this week.

Beth and I took the day off today. This is our Anniversary weekend. 12 years. So we took off today and went to get massages today. I love massages.
So now, we are just taking it easy. She is actually taking a nap and I'm watching MASH. *sigh*
I could get used to this.
