Went to the pool at lunch, intending to do 2k straight. By the time I got into the water, it turned into "I need to do some drills to make sure my form is still good cuz it's been about two months since I was in the pool." I did some various drills with no real structure; I found it quite invigorating. Most importantly, I found that I've dropped my swim strokes per 25 yards from 12 to 10. Probably because of the open water swimming. I'll take it!
After work, got a new PR on my 40k TT route! Yeehaw! I started out slow and sore with lots of wind and thinking "well, this is just one more workout this week that's gonna suck." By the 30k point, I realized I was on pace for a PR, so I kicked it in. Bam! Beat previous by about 15 seconds.
A good day!
I'm a family guy who is addicted to swim/bike/run and anything to do with getting out into the backcountry wilderness areas. This blog focuses on the swim, bike, run and other various aspects of my attempts to finish in the top ten percent of my age group in whatever race I do. It used to be all about finishing the legs of an Olympic Distance triathlon: swim in 20 minutes, bike in 60 minutes, and run in 40 minutes. Now, it's more about training well and finishing well.
