REST DAY!!  :)

Turns out 2069 is a prime number...I don't know what that means from numerology perspective, but I'm going with, "That's really cool!  Prime numbers bring great luck!"  ;)

Rode at CC. Didn't have my GPS, so I had to estimate 5k by time.
1: 8:03 ahr:167
2: 8:20 ahr: 171
3: 8:58 ahr: 170 (actually ended around 8:00, but forgot to stop the watch--hr was higher)
4: 8:53 ahr 166 (again, forgot to stop watch)
5: 8:04 ahr 172

Legs felt great at the end of this!!

1:30 spin this evening with 5x5k TT intervals on a flat to rolling course.  Cherry Creek, maybe?

One week to departure!  Looks like the RD finally got the Athlete's Guide up! :)

June 12

Swim
  • 1h 00m
  • 2500.00 yards
  • -----

Masters swim

250 SKP

2 x (5 x 50, 10 x 25-at least 2 your weakest stroke)

5 x 150 pull w/paddles

Shoulders were a little tight from last night's swim when I started the pull sets, but they loosened up fairly quickly.

Puppy is better--now she is just sleeping a lot.

Looks like I'll be doing split timing and then be at the finish line volunteering at the 5430 on Sunday--so haul ass, 'cause I'll be waiting! :)

We pull out of town a week from tomorrow!

June 11

Run
  • 1h 42m 22s
  • 10.00 miles
  • 10m 14s /Mi

Fast transition to run on TM. 10 miles, fast after first 5.

First 5: 54:34 ahr 155
Next 4: 37:48 ahr 172. Last 1/2 of 4th mile was at sub-9 pace.
TM was going to time out during the last mile, so I did it as a cool down. Ahr: 153.

The first ~hour of this was while watching MTV's Charm School with Mo'Nique. That mansion is going to need a thorough delousing after those chicks leave! Um, wow.

Swim
  • 27m 04s
  • 1600.00 yards
  • 01m 41s /100 yards

Instructions were to swim 1600 fast. I may have done an extra 50 or 100 in here. Note to self: spaghettios do not make for a good pre-swim meal.

Well, puppy has been sick since yesterday afternoon--throwing up every couple of hours amazing amounts of fluid.  I think it's from swimming in and drinking from a really scuzzy pond yesterday after getting overheated running a field.  We took both dogs out to the hunt club so Sierra could get to know the place.  She hasn't been in a kennel in years, and both dogs are going to be at the club's kennel when we go to CdA.  Ocky took Tahoma to run the field while Sierra got to know the kennel staff and office.  Tahoma got hot, then went in the pond.

She started throwing up on the ride home (in her box), then threw up about 5 times while we were out running other errands, then threw up several more times through out the evening and night.  As of about 4:30 this morning, I was sure I was going to have to take her to the vet today.  But she hasn't thrown up since--instead she is just very lathargic.  So the upshot is I'm home today.  Hopefully I will be able to get a nap in!

June 10

Spontaneous Rest Day!  I decided I needed to run errands to get ready for the IM.  I wanted to make sure that I wasn't freaking out over the next week and a half trying to get everything done.  The workout I had scheduled for today will be moved to tomorrow.

June 9

Bike
  • 3h 10m
  • 54.81 miles
  • 17.31 Mi/hr

Rode in Boulder with hubby. Rode out to Hygiene, to Rabbit Mountain, and Lyons before looping back. Actually had a couple from N. Boulder draft off of ME! Wahoo!

So it looks like coach has worked things out with the owner of ATP so that there will not be a break in coaching.  Major relief!  That was just one thing I did not need to stress over right now!
