Thursday - Friday and the Weekend

Thursday
Swim 2900 yards
Bike 1:30 out to 7 and Beck road. Nothing special just riding.

Friday
Swim 2000 meters, kind of tired and just getting pool time.

Saturday
I wanted to pace out my HIM bike strategy so I did Gordo's HIM sim again.
Plan was to ride the first 1:15 of the bike under 170 watts and the second 1:15 under 180 watts
Run 45 min 5.35 miles smooth just under long run pace
Bike 2:30 - 1:15 at 168 watts, second 1:15 at 178 watts TSS 168 ~ 53 miles
Run 48:09 6.0 miles close to HIM run pace

I pretty much nailed the pacing on the power side, the course was a little hilly and I wasn't using race wheels so the speed was a little slower that what I would expect to see at Muncie and Steelhead. The second run I felt very strong, I felt that had I been running 13.1 miles I could have picked it up for the second half of the run.

Sunday
Run on track but I was tired. Note to self, don't do track intervals the day after a race sim :P

Warm up 1.5 miles
6X400 with 400 recovery
cool down

Bike
1 hour 20.2 miles
I felt very good on the bike despite how I felt on the track but it was still just a leisurely ride.

So bike pacing at Muncie this weekend is the Key reason I'm going. Planning on riding exactly as I did on Saturday. On a normal day I should be in near 2:30. With a 32 to 35 min swim and a 1:45 run I should come in just over 4:50, that would be a very good race for me.
