FIRST OPWS OF THE SEASON! :)
Swam at Wildwood lake for the first time. What. A. Dream. Place. To. Swim. Wow!! The out and back is a perfect mile. Fresh, crystal clear water. Avg 6 feet deep in most places. I can't believe I just found this place now and it's 15 minutes from my house. Met four other triathletes. One guy is doing Mooseman, another guy is doing Ironman Louisville. They all had been swimming in this lake for years and said it's a hidden gem. I can see myself swimming hundreds of miles in this lake over the coming years.
The only negative was my TYR CAT 5 wetsuit. Nice and bouyant, but for the money - I really don't think it's much better than my QR Hydrofull. And the suit is tight, and I really had to hike the arms up to the middle of my forearms cause it really impinged my should movement.

Aerobic. Hill Repeats.
1692 ft
Transition Run
80% humidity
Originally planned to run 5 miles but I didn't bring any fluid or gels with me. So steamy out my oakley's were fogging. Legs felt good, but due to the lack of fuel I had to cut it short.
My brain and body crashed yesterday. I was acting nasty and beligerent, and then fell asleep from 12:30 to 2:30. Felt better after the nap. Electrican finished the pool, took my son to lacrosse practice, and then planned to run when I got home but forgot the wife had Zumba. So no training yesterday, but it was probably for the better as my body was telling me I needed a Rest Day.
Crazy busy next few days. Son's lacrosse game tonight, field day at his school tomorrow afternoon, nother lacrosse game Saturday and a party right after the game, BBQ at my parents Sunday, then having friends over our house for a pool party BBQ Monday. Somehow I have to fit training in while getting the pool and house ready. But these are all 'High Class Problems' as a friend of mine likes to say. :)
Bike at Lunch.

Z2/ Tempo
Hazy and humid. I pushed on a few of the climbs and flats. Rode off the road once but recovered. Tired.
Hoping this fog clears so I can get a ride in before Lunch. At 2:00 I have to pick my son up from school. We're babysitting the class baby ducks tonight!

Dug deep on this workout. Fought through the fatigue and focused on form. With my big races getting closer it's easier to mentally motivate for some of these longer, harder workouts.
