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…
The Pond is warming up!
Headed to the Y this morning to swim, but was really wondering if George was going to show up with the latest temperature readings from the pond. George did not disappoint and said the water was 64 degrees on Sunday afternoon. That is plenty warm enough to swim, a bit surprising though I really would…
Disqualified!!!!
Today instead of the normal long ride our training program called for doing an Olympic distance triathlon. It’s a little early in the season for doing those in this area so we just did a 23 mile bike followed by a 6 mile run. Well, I guess the run was supposed to be longer but I…
Good swim morning
The Y was pretty empty at the start of the swim so I had about 1500 yards in before we started the workout. Then we did a few sets and another young woman showed up who is very fast. She really upped the intensity of the workout adding probably another 900 yards at the end…
CompuTrainer – Long Intervals
I just realized this morning that I forgot to post yesterdays workout. It was another CompuTrainer workout with long intervals. It is getting kind of warm in the garage, I may have to take these Tuesday and Thursday morning rides outside soon if it gets much warmer. Weight: 165.5
Finally a long run
I have been planning to make wednesday my long run day, but up until today it just hasn’t happened for one reason or another. Today though, I made was able to get 10 miles in. I think if I’m going to go longer than that I will have to have Gatorade or something at the…
