   Tired treadmill run ad 2% incline. I sweated like I was in a hot yoga class: drip drip drip down my temples, off my nose and my chin. It grosses me out that I and everyone else sweat like that into the pool.

   Wall-less laps. 5 mins warm up, 20 mins 50 yard hard sprints, as fast as I physically can for all I'm worht, with 30 seconds rest between, then 5 minute cool-down. I swallowed a lot of water and got a side-stitch. A side-stitch! In the WATER!

   "Bribed" my husband with an offer for a drink at Jamba Juice if he'd pick me up there at the end of my one-way trip. Brisk sunset run after an easy field day standing around at work watching PG&E install a 2" gas line. I started getting shin splints after the first mile. What the heck. I never get shin splints! I even rested at all the stop lights! Oh well. Drinking my Chocolate MooMoo with protein boost. Now off to the foam roller.

     I love how you and your husband both use Jamba Juice as a bribe, whether intentionally or not. :)

   This recovery week couldn't have come sooner. My whole body is still "unloading exhaustion" as Coach Friel calls it in my Triathlete's Training Bible. I knew it would be a short run so I ran faster than my 5K race pace. It was challenging but manageable.

   Solo sunset ride. Lots of other cyclists out, too. Big loop plus an extra small one to round off the hour. Spin class has given me much more power to go against the wind along Hwy 12; the down side is my triceps are and hands give out much sooner. Last summer when all my cycling miles were on the road my triceps were quite well defined and braking was no problem for me by the end. I'll need to spend more time in the saddle from now until June 9th.

    My mouth feels like I swished a capfull of bleach! No wonder my first impression was, "Wow this water is so clear." Note to self: don't use the Vallejo pool ever again. Once was enough. I also forgot my earplugs but swam anyway. If on race day I forget my earplugs I'll suck it up and swim anyway. 14 laps breast, 6 back, 33 crawl with form emphasis. I hate their pool dimensions.

    Nice easy ride. My triceps are weak and I have a tendency to lean too hard on the handlebars. I thought of Saturday's triathlon workshop advice: the stiffer your arms, the stiffer your ride, the more likely you'll fall. Tonight I worked on loose shoulders, relaxed arms, and 85-90 RPM.

    Wall-less laps: crawl, free, paddles, fins, and several 200s. I didn't keep track of how many of each. Just moved the swim abacus beads as appropriate to keep track of laps. I'm feeling the cumulative effects of this second-to-last training peak. I'm tired. It took me 20 minutes before I finally found my smooth rhythm. Just this high-volume week, then next week is an easy week before the final push to triathlon day.

    It took me about 8 minutes to get to my normal breath. I think the real bike ride will be great for recovering from the swim. I gasped the whole time in T1 and of course our ride today was just a token little thing. Although my legs felt leaden I felt very happy to run. It's all fun, but the running is the most fun for me.

    Just a tiny loop around 3 aisles of the parking lot. The purpose of the tri-rehearsal today was to practice our transitions. Today was sunny and we got out of the water in the 1:00PPM hour so it was no problem, but I'm afraid my hands will be too cold to grip the bars well enough on race morning. My hands were completely stiff, freezing and prickly on our first swim workshop and we didn't even have our bikes that day.

    Allergies were SO bad. I can ride with a mask but I won't run with one. Looks like it's about that time of year where I have to switch to indoor running for a month. I tried doing the knee drives and back landings my doc prescribed. Feels weird and I don't even know if I'm doing anything effective, but we'll see.
