I did a swim workout this morning instead of the usual bike ride. For two reasons really. The first was because my legs needed a break after the hard bike workout on Tuesday followed by the long run on Wednesday. I figured I would let them recover for a day and swim. The second reason…

Is it really May?
It was another cold, rainy, miserable morning out there running. Slogged through 12 miles. I did manage to do negative splits, so there was one bright spot, even if it wasn’t the weather. http://connect.garmin.com/activity/84915925 Nutrition: Post run – Had a glass of milk with Hammer Recoverite. I’ve been doing this for the longer runs and…
Tuesday Tempo Ride
Started out the morning thinking I was going to use the coaching software and let it determine the power and intervals. Then Mackenzie walked into the garage at 5:15am upset about a Mosquito in her room 10 minutes into the ride. So I got a good warmup in!! After getting Mackenzie back to bed, I…
Run and swim
Had been hoping to start going to the pond in the mornings by now, but I’m having trouble getting others to show up. Still pretty cold really anyway so it is probably better that I just go run at the gym and swim after the run. The problem with running after swimming at the pond…
Boxford, Georgetown, Newbury, Newburyport….
Long ride today that took us through many towns and into another state. All the way up to Kingston,NH and back. 77 miles in all for me today. It was a very good ride, my legs felt good the entire time and felt like I could have gone further. With last few miles home I…
First Stiles Swim
Finally made it back into the pond. Not sure what the water temp was, yesterday there was a reading of 61 degrees. If I had to guess it was probably 60 because it was cold over night. What was strange though was how warm it got out near Rohr’s dock and actually the rest of the way. Wasn’t…
Friday Swim Workout
Over slept a little bit this morning and showed up a few minutes late at the pool. I had been hoping it was going to be a pond morning but no one seemed interested in going out in the cold air. Supposedly tomorrow morning at 5:15am will be the first swim. Not sure if I…
Recovery day
After the 12 mile run yesterday and the CompuTrainer ride the day before my legs were feeling a bit heavy and tired so I made today a recovery day. I tried to work on keeping my cadence up and also my Spinscan numbers to keep my pedal stroke more efficient. I did ride for 1…
Another long run
Did another long run this morning. This one was for 12 miles and it seems like this could be pretty close to the limit unless I loop past the car and make sure I have some Gatorade/water and/or Gels. I’m doing loops anyway so stopping at the car wouldn’t be a problem, but I would…
CompuTrainer – IM Kona ride
Woke up a little late this morning so I changed the plan from doing the intervals that I normally do to just riding the IM Kona bike course. I managed to hold 200 watts for 1 hour and 10 minutes. Felt better than I expected at the end, my legs were still a little sore…
