  1. RUN
    good Indian Lake 7.35 mi 00:54 07:22 pace

    Nice trail run with Murphy. Uneventful until we came across a pair of guys who had a garbage bag, a LARGE garbage bag, full of morels. That's like $800 of mushrooms. Kinda wish I'd ru... read more

    good Enchanted Valley 29.67 mi 01:31 19.5mph pace

    Havent done this ride in a while - the pavement still sucks. And traffic on Q coming back from Waunakee apparently didn't register my existence, but I suppose that's all in a day's ... read more

      Q can be quite sketchy at times. Do you go faster to get past those areas?

      You'd think so, but Q in general is not fast, and it's somewhat of a climb coming back into Middleton

    good Nowhere 19.84 mi 01:00 19.8mph pace

    Well, I could have ridden outdoors, but the plan for the rest of the summer is to do at least one ride a week on the trainer, as it's good for a different type of cycling fitness - the whole c... read more

  4. swim
    great Harbor Athletic Club 3300 yd

    300 w/up drills, 3000 straight. I'm not officially ready to not do these long straight swims in the pool and get outside.

  5. VELO
    good Riley Tavern 28.71 mi 01:35 18.1mph pace

    Felt great, power was well within zone, but I was molested by the wind... often, and without remorse.

  6. RUN
    good Conservancy 8.12 mi 00:53 06:33 pace

    Intervals on the paved part of the Conservancy - 7 x 4' @ 5:15 on 1' walking recovery. No complaints except that the wind was killer in one direction... and not so much in the other.

  7. RUN
    alright Pheasant Branch 8.28 mi 00:57 06:54 pace

    Monday legs again. Didn't feel great running through the Conservancy, and wasn't quite ready for how hot I got. But whatever. I ran.

  8. VELO
    good Observatory Hill repeats 34.31 mi 01:59 17.2mph pace

    Out to Observatory and then up and down each side x 5. Wind is especially brutal today, and was basically blowing me back down the long side of the hill as I climbed up. Also discovered I'm ... read more

  9. RUN
    good Pheasant Branch 9.21 mi 01:02 06:45 pace

    Brick run through the conservancy. I'm the idiot who forgot to bring water on his run in 80 degree weather, but at least there's one stop at the pavilion. Also in the pavilion today, a ... read more

  10. VELO
    great Paoli & Loop 72.42 mi 03:45 19.3mph pace

    Excellent ride out through Paoli and then on to the IM loop. Missed the fast (and my favorite) portion of the course, but that's cool. Made a brief mechanical stop in Verona, as one of my ae... read more

  11. VELO
    great Midtown 18.72 mi 00:56 20.1mph pace

    Man did I get some favorable wind heading out Old Sauk today. I don't think I've made it all the way out that quickly even during an interval workout... and it was cake. Took it easy th... read more

  12. RUN
    great Campus 18.08 mi 02:00 06:38 pace

    Ran over to campus and then hit up the IM run loop, which I didn't actually do at all last year. I figure it can't hurt. Felt surprisingly solid the whole way, and was averaging 6:45s u... read more

  13. swim
    great UW Health Athletic Center 3700 yd 01:15 35:40 pace

    Early morning masters. Huge pull block in there, something like 1700 pull only and then a very nasty 20x50 on 50". Good times had by all.

  14. FIT
    great Harbor Athletic Club 00:45

    Truncated my session again. Was fairly sad working out with all the big windows around showing me how nice it was outside... where I wasn't.

  15. swim
    great Harbor Athletic Club 3300 yd

    300 w/up drills, 3000 straight. Don't think I've ever done a 3k in the pool before. Just took it steady, and pushed the last 1k. Was kinda surprised by my 500 splits once I finished up... read more

  16. RUN
    alright Pheasant Branch 8.23 mi 00:55 06:42 pace

    Intervals in the conservancy. 6 x 4' at ~ 5:15 on 2' very easy recovery. Didn't eat a real lunch today, and felt it. Legs were also probably a bit abused from the earlier trail ri... read more

      Really nice session Brad. Amazing how the "last one" always hurts, no matter how many or how few lead up to "the last one".

    great Mirror Lake 13.37 mi 01:09 11.6mph pace

    Excellent MTB ride out at Mirror Lake with Joel P. . Considering this is my second time on the bike, or mountain biking at all, it went perfectly - as in I didn't crash and/or damage myself. ... read more

  18. swim
    good Harbor Athletic Club 2000 yd

    300 drills, 12x50 sprints, 500x2, 100 c/down

  19. VELO
    great Riley Tavern 31.21 mi 01:35 19.7mph pace

    Nice warm ride out where I usually go. More cyclists out than I usually see at this time of day, which is great.

  20. RUN
    great Pheasant Branch 9.21 mi 01:01 06:35 pace

    Hey, a Monday run that didn't suck. Ran through the Conservancy and around Lake Stonefield. Felt solid.
