    good Gunpowder River 1100 yd 01:16 121:35 pace

    Still need to work on my endurance while swimming freestyle, but was able to swim 600 yards breaststroke in 29 minutes without stopping. Not as fast as in the pool, but the pool doesn't have a... read more

  3. swim
    good lap pool 1050 yd 00:33 55:35 pace

    great trainer 8 mi 00:45 10.7mph pace

    Easy ride to shake out the legs. Multi-tasked. Got my riding done during my bike fit. I had to ride so he could see things and then kept riding while he was doing other things. Just an estimate, bu... read more

  5. RUN
    great First official Brick - Run 2.51 mi 00:34 13:40 pace

    So this was the first time I've run off the bike (including at the gym). I was pleasantly surprised in how well I did. My breathing sounded terribly, but my HR pretty much stayed below target ... read more

  8. RUN
    Happy National Running Day 3.1 mi 00:43 13:52 pace

    TM run. Hot, hot, hot in the gym. Really pushed my mental capabilities to get through this run. I tried zoning out and focusing on the building wall across the street. Should have stretched more - ... read more

  9. swim
    great pool swim 2540 m 01:01 38:19 pace

    Awesome morning swim workout. Went to the deep water lanes for the first time. I actually prefer it as it takes away the opportunity to put your feet down so you gotta keep moving. Had a perfect te... read more

    good 15.02 mi 01:00 14.9mph pace

    Trainer workout. Got it done first thing this morning. Great way to start the day!

  11. swim
    good Gunpowder Falls State Park 400 yd

    First open water swim since probably 1998. This is a river not a lake so we had a lot of chop to contend with. Glad I had the opportunity to do the swim in a clinic setting before the race. Did bet... read more

      WHoo Hooo no the clothing working well. Modesty is a virtue that people seem to be forgetting. Nice workout, I am a wee bit jealous. When is your race? (And I used multiple strokes to get across Lucky's the other day...some that I thought I may have made upon purpose...)

      It's June 23. I actually swim/bike/run in long sleeves, a skirt, and tri capris (yes there is such a thing and you wouldn't believe how long it took me to find them). It was kind of nice to be in the river because I usually have so much drag and in the pool that I have a hard time staying buoyant. I didn't seem to have that problem today. Yay!
