  1. RUN
    good Foundation 4.73 mi 00:40 08:27 pace

    Foundation run with my favorite running buddy. Life is good!

    good Steady State Ride 23.28 mi 01:18 17.9mph pace

    I love when bosses tell you to start your weekend 2 hours early. Got out for a pre-dinner ride before the rain came. Winds were 12 mph with higher gusts. Felt pretty good.

  3. swim
    good Bush Lake 2200 yd 00:46 36:45 pace

    We hit the lake in the wetsuits. The air temp was cooler than last week but the wind was much less. I skipped the planned workout and just swam back and forth across the beach. I really need to ... read more

  4. RUN
    good Foundation Run 5.74 mi 00:50 08:42 pace

    Early morning foundation run - legs a bit tired but the sun came out to greet me, life is good!

  5. VELO
    alright Threshold ride 18.52 mi 01:13 15.2mph pace

    !@%$(#$% weather and bike trainer! Put the road bike back into the trainer and did the ride there. 2 @14 minute "threshold" pushes. Legs wouldn't move and I couldn't get the ... read more

    good Base and Lactate Intervals 2100 yd 00:47 39:41 pace

    The alarm clock seemed so early this morning, but I don't think I was the only one that felt that way since the pool was empty by the time I got done. Most of the oldsters doing the water exe... read more

  7. RUN
    good Tempo Run 4.97 mi 00:40 08:03 pace

    It was too wet for the bike tonight so we switched the bike and tomorrow's run around. The tempo portion took more concentration and effort this week. Not quite as fast as last week, but sti... read more

  8. RUN
    good Long Run 8.09 mi 01:12 08:56 pace

    Well, 5 minutes of this run was dry. The rain did bring down the temp, which was appreciated. The lightening started and the rain really really came down about 1/2 mile from home. We pushed it i... read more

  9. swim
    good long interval 2400 yd 00:55 40:17 pace

    Just warm up, 1800 interval and cool down. Just tried to feel the water today. Dave passed me about 20 lengths in. I tucked in behind and drafted for another 20+ lengths before he pulled away. ... read more

      Was this over at the East Bush Lake? I'm very vaguely considering being a noodle swimmer for the YWCA tri and have no pool :)

      We were at the pool today. I hope to get into the lake again soon. It should be warmer now! Are you doing the women's tri? I've heard that is a really nice event!

    alright Foundation Ride 38.34 mi 02:14 17.2mph pace

    I guess I pushed too hard on my run yesterday and felt it today. Just didn't have anything there. I got it finished. Now off to an early birthday dinner with my men.

  11. RUN
    good Foundation run 5.86 mi 00:50 08:30 pace

    Just and easy 50 minutes and it felt really good! We kept this conversational and RPE was pretty light.

  12. swim
    good Threshold and Speed intervals 2200 yd 00:48 38:23 pace

    Long swim workout! New this week are 300 threshold intervals - race pace I guess. Not just 1 but 4 of those -- not pretty, but got them done.

    alright Steady State Ride 21.36 mi 01:12 17.8mph pace

    Tonight's goal was a ride slightly harder than a foundation ride. I was tired, my legs could feel I worked hard yesterday. Excitement for tonight - I wasn't even a mile from home, just... read more

    alright threshold 20.47 mi 01:07 18.3mph pace

    26 minutes of threshold ride - I fell a bit short of last week. I still was 19.65 mph during those minutes, but I did 20 last week. Felt tired tonight - I'm not used to running hard and bik... read more

    great Tempo Run 4.75 mi 00:38 08:00 pace

    Sing it with me -- That's the way, Uh huh, Uh huh, I like it (admit it - you finished it!)

    First non-race early morning run in a long time and it went really well. I did 18 minutes of tempo ... read more

    Tonight's swim - wet suit half off - the water looks somewhat calm

  17. swim
    alright Bobbing along! 1043 yd 00:23 38:11 pace

    I know now what it feels like to be a fishing bobber! First open water swim of the year and it was Cold and WINDY! 21 mph winds made white caps on the lake. I could only breath to the beach side... read more

  18. RUN
    great Recovery Run 3.14 mi 00:26 08:16 pace

    The best thing about racing (other than AG awards ;0 ) is the speed I always feel after. This was just an easy feeling run with a nice pace. Dave and I chatted the whole way. Tomorrow is a sche... read more
