April 24

Up early to spectate at the Sprint and Olympic.  Was disappointed the swim was cancelled, but it was the right decision.  Took a nap before heading over to the BT lunch gathering.  After lunch, racked my bike and layed out my stuff for tomorrow.  Pasta for dinner and early to bed.

April 23

Swim
  • 21m 04s
  • 800.00 yards
  • 02m 38s /100 yards

**Distance is a total guess.

Great swim at Lake 288 with a bunch of other BTers. Kathy and Kevin G, Catwoman, Fattyfatfat and others. Swam a loop that was .35 miles in 12:25 and then out and back to a buoy in 8:40.

After swimming, ate lunch with Kathy, Kevin, Rene and Patrick. Got checked in, drove the course and got a free 10 minute massage on the neck. After driving the course, I'm excited that someone finally knows what a truly flat course is. Wind will be the issue.

Spectating Saturday morning at the sprint and olympic and then racing Sunday.

Good times.

Thanks for all the inspires! It will help keep me focused out on the race course.

trainer

Nice easy spin to keep the legs fresh.

Run
  • 15m
  • 1.25 miles
  • 12m /Mi

Brick run on the treadmill after the trainer.

Sport
  • Massage
  • 1h 00m

Massage and chiro today to get the body relaxed and ready for Sunday's race. Upper back between the shoulders are tight, I'm guessing from Sunday's century. The chiro popped my back in a new way today. I'm hoping it will help with the aero position. It felt good.

After the massage and chiro, I went home and cleaned the bike.  Can't go to a race with a dirty bike.  Then I ate dinner and packed.  It's tough packing for an out of town tri.  I don't know how those of you who fly to a race do it.  I'm planning on driving to IMFL.  The car is going to be packed.

Run
  • 30m
  • 3.08 miles
  • 09m 44s /Mi

High 70s and sunshine. Race day Sunday might be like this, so good practice. Legs felt a little sluggish at first, but settled in after about 10 minutes. Took it nice and easy.

The walk back home after the run. Used it as a cool down.

Feeling ok from the century on Sunday, but decided to skip the run on the schedule today.  After the swim I took a hot bath and then went to bed early.  I'm taking it easy this week in prep for the HIM this weekend.
