Saturday

Swim

Our swim practice with FAST was canceled cuz the lifeguard didn't show up so I didn't get to swim.

Bike
Rode the MTB on the Poto. 1 loop, 18 miles in 1:48
There was a lot of mud on the Goslin loop and that slowed me just a little. There was 4 or 5 places that I could not ride accross and had to put a foot down and drag the bike through.
I broke my chain about 5 miles into the ride but was able to fix it with my multi-tool. Serves me right for neglecting my MTB maintenance. Origionally I wanted to do 2 loops but I figured that I was pushing it after the chain issue.

Run
Run on the trail after the bike ride, not hard since I was fairly tired. Started from the parking lot to the beach, then from 1 to 2, 9, 8, 3 to the dirt road, turned right to 7 and back to the parking lot. I wore my trail shoes and didn't get a distance but I figure it was around 4.5 miles in 43 minutes.

A bit of a rocky weekend

Friday
Swim with LALA 3000 yards with some stroke work but I got it all in

Saturday
Swim with FAST 4000 yards...Stroke and drill work too but one again, we got it all in.

Bike at Holley Rec area on Gruber's Grinder
15.5 miles in about 1:45
Very difficult trail to ride. Sometimes hard to follow cuz of the leaves. Sometimes very difficult physically with steep climbs and technically with odd turns, obstacles, rocks, roots and trees.

Overall this is probably the most technically difficult trails I've been on. I put it on par with Highland Rec area's trail. I fell pretty hard about 10 miles into the ride.I was making a quick sweeping left and my front tire ran over a small branch and slid away from me. It dropped me down on my left elbow which in turn jammed my shoulder. About 10 minutes later I did it again. At first I thought I broke my collarbone but I was OK, the second time I was really felt that something was broke, but again I was OK. I rode easier for the rest of the ride.

Since I had the shoulder issue I decided to take Sunday and Monday off so no running or swimming but Sunday morning I did go canoeing with Karen and friends and I felt OK. That little trip was a lot of fun.

Tuesday I was still a bit sore but feeling much better and since this is the off season I decided not to do the track workout and rest. I'm going to try and swim on Wednesday and see how I feel.

MTB at Pontiac Lake 20 miles (2 loops) in about 1:50
The trail was fun, difficult on the first loop but the second loop was better and quicker.  Not as physically demanding as the Poto but much rockier with some different types of technical decents.

Monday


The MTB after powerwashing it from the ride today :)

Changed things up a little bit cuz of the warmer weather.

MTB at Island Lake 14 miles 1:19:48 HR 139. A lot of soft ground and mud, hard to ride fast since traction was unpredictable, I played it safe. When the ground was good I felt fast, I bought some new tires yesterday, Specialized Fast Trak.

Run 5 miles on treadmill since it was getting dark. 42:47 HR 140.
