warmup/cooldown
was suppose to be an easy to moderate ride and i kept it at that effort until a few other cyclists decided that they wanted to play...ha. went out lake drive to port washington road and down to the dog park and then turned around. on the way back i saw a guy ahead about .5mi who was cruisin so i worked hard to catch him and got him after about 4 mi. well then i get to a stop light a few miles later and he and 2 of his teammates dressed in their black and pink kits pull up behind me. so i keep riding like normal and all of a sudden they pull up next to me very closely and give me a couple dirty glances (keeping in mind that i looked like a total tri dork today in my tri shorts, sleeveless jersey, and aero helmet lol) so now they start pushing it and i stayed right with them and the guy i passed earlier rides off the front so i just stick with the other two. i hear them say 3-2-1 and they take off sprinting so i had to kick it hard but again stayed right with them :) i hear them laugh about how they thought they dropped me so i laughed and busted right past them and pushed it til i caught the lead guy who looked pretty dead by then so i said hey! and kept on going...hehe it was fun and some good interval work :)
woke up at 5 to go ride but it was raining so i thought i reset my alarm for 6...and then i woke up at 930...haha oops. jason was kind enough to bring my bike to emerys to get the deraileurs and cables adjusted today so that my steed is shifting properly when i tear up kansas sunday :) i also finally got the bars taped after 2000 miles without it lol. by now my hands are so used to it being not taped that it felt amazing today!
ive been ultrasounding, stretching, and icing like nuts and my leg is feeling good walking but im still not gonna risk running til later (aka sunday). ive got a feeling that at least the last 7 miles of the run are gonna hurt haha.
i just got fitted for orthotics...man do i hate working at a sports med clinic :)

warmup/cooldown
boy did i feel slow swimming today! i probly wasnt that much slower than normal but whoever was swimming next to me from the swim team was making me look like i was swimming backwards. he wasnt honestly swimming about twice as fast as me and i was doing right around 2min/100...dang! so as im already feeling super slow and gettin my butt handed to me he finaly gets out...but only to grab his kick board and ensues to still handily beat me swimming freestyle while he only kicks! haha ouch.
legs felt great on the ride today so i let em go and rode at about the hr i would like to see at kansas. for the first time in forever the wind was out of the west, and my route is always north-south, so i didnt have to battle a headwind. it was awesome :) im much faster when im not going up giant hills, in hot humid weather, with wind, after 100 miles...haha. wore the aero helmet because its almost game time!
