Monday 8/25

Run 5.2 miles on the Hilly route at lunch. Uneventfull, a little tired so I didn't push any of the hills, kept training stress down a bit and made the run just junk miles.

Swim 3050 meters at LTF Commerce

400 warm up
300 pull
7X150 quick :15 rest
8X100 Base intervals :10 rest
12X25 kick :07 to :10 rest
200 cool down

Felt fairly strong and motivated knowing I was done for the day when the swim was done.

Friday and the weekend

Friday I kept it easy and just swam 3200 meters

Saturday
Swim 1 lap of Trout Lake
Bike 2 hours in hills ~37 miles
Run 1.8 miles, I was so tired and out of energy

Sunday
Take pictures at the Island Lake Triathlon that Karen was in.

Run 14.7 miles 2:06:53 at Island Lake.
Started from Kent Lake parking lot and ran the Blue MTB trail which started 2.5 miles away.
It was hot and humid, a very nice day to run on the trail where 75% of the run was well shaded. Felt fairly strong and liked the fact that I was only running that day. Not having to work beforehand helped too.

I liked the format for the week and will be doing that again with the longer ride on wednesday and long run on sunday.

I know it's been a while

Yes, I've been slacking...on both the blog and training side but still having fun.

Since I wrote last I've raced Muncie, Waterloo, Steelhead and Sylvania

Muncie 5:07 ...Good trial, at too late the night before, learned from that mistake

Waterloo the next day... Just racing Bernie, had a lot of fun

Steelhead Duathlon 4:39 ... Not very happy about the race, still a good day and came in as planned.

Sylvania Oly 2:15.xx ... Good day, personal best on that course, windy so the bike was a little bit slower than usual plus I was a bit tired from Steelhead the week before.

Next race planned is Pineman provided training goes as planned. I've got to put in a solid 3 weeks of training before the race and not taper so much. I think I taped too much before Steelhead.

Going to shake the training plan up some and move around my long bike and run. New basic week goes as follows. Highest priority of the day goes to the training in Bold

Mon Run, Swim
Tue Run, Bike, Run
Wed Swim, Bike long
Thu Bike, Run
Fri Swim, Run
Sat Swim OW, Bike intervals, Run LT
Sun Run long
