Sunday – RACE DAY! If you missed it, you can read the recap here. Including warm ups, it was 20m swim, 50m bike (16 miles) and 23m (5k) run.
Monday – Swim 58 minutes (2200 meters or about 1.5 miles). Swimming for an hour feels like a LONG TIME. I was really glad to have my waterproof IPOD on for this one. I swam a warm up, a couple intervals so a friend can help me write a plan to swim faster, 1200 straight meters and then a couple drills. I was pooped after that, and next weeks’ is longer so that ought to be interesting.
Tuesday – Ride/run 58 minutes. We practiced transitions. It was a 1.8 mile ride and .5 mile run, transitioning between the two a total of 6 times. My transitions are still slow. It takes me forever to get clipped in still.
Wednesday: Run 40 minutes. Speed work day! 1 mile warm up and cool down, with 4×1200 intervals. It was supposed to be 5, but I pooped at 4. The first 400 @ 5k pace and then immediately into the 800 @10k pace. It was hot, and my times got slower. Is it fall yet? PLEASE?!
Thursday – swim 30 minutes (1325 yards)/ride 88 minutes (24.5 miles)/run 16 minutes(1.75 miles). I swam in our neighborhood pool in the morning and then joined the group ride/run, though I cut the run in half.
Friday – REST DAY!
Saturday: Swim 30 minutes (1325 yards) and run 15 min with the twins.
TOTALS planned (actual) – minutes became easier to track than hours and minutes
Swim: 139 minutes (138 minutes)
Ride: 187 minutes (166 minutes)
Run: 93 minutes (105 minutes)
Next Week:
Swim: 153 minutes
Ride: 205 minutes
Run: 102 minutes
Journey To the Finish Line

I’m so sad I missed speedwork this week. Stupid wreck :(. I heard everyone dropped early and I don’t blame them because even doing that 4 times is 3 miles worth of hard running which is probably enough with this heat.
You got some great workouts in this week. Even after your tri, you totally kept going with some tough ones! Great job and hope to see ya Wednesday!

You didn’t miss much except heat (well and awesome company haha)! :p so ready for it to cool down!! A few people did 5 sets. And thanks 🙂

Yeah, VA said Andrew did all 5 sets but he is an ultra runner so he’s kind of a special case ;). I did the Fleet Feet run so I still experienced the heat. I will be there this Wednesday unless there’s another wreck, hope not bc 2 people died in it 😦 😦 :(.
