Did a track workout.

2.2 mi warm up at a 7:42/mi pace- I know not a good warm up pace but the triclub is speedy.

0.5mi straights and turns

3 x 1mi repeats.  (6:34, 6:49, 6:48) 

My usual group either didn't run or was taking it easy because there is a race paid for by the club next weekend.  I'll be on a ski trip otherwise I'd take it easy too.  I ran with some guys who are too fast for me.  I should have just shot for 6:40 and wouldn't have been so tired after the first mile.

0.4mi cool down

Went to the pool and swam 1000yds.  (200 swim, 50k, 50s, 5 x 100, 200cool down)

I was running at about an 8:15/mi pace until someone I knew from the Trigators caught up with me and then I picked it up to around 7:45/mi and finished with an average of a little over an 8:00/mi

I was doing some lab testing with motion capture cameras for my semester project and I used myself as the subject.  Did 11:30 at a 9min/mi and then 14:00 at a 7min/mi.  A few of my markers fell off from being sweaty.

Went snowboarding all day at Keystone and was very sore afterwards.

Went snowboarding from 9 to 3 and was much better today, so I was less sore at the end of the day since I wasn't on my heals the whole way down the mountain.

Snowboarded all day at Arapahoe Basin and had a lot of fun.  I rented an awesome demo board (Never Summer Lotus) and also got a few pointers from an instructor so that I could go down the moguls without falling the whole way down.  I was barely sore at all at the end of the day since I was boarding the correct way and falling very little.

First time back running after taking a week off for spring break and it was rough.  I put on a few pounds from drinking good heavy Colorado beer all week and not running.  I also had a bad stomach ache at my turn around point.  It felt like food poisoning and I've felt bad all night.  Hopefully I get back in shape fast, I have a 10k this weekend and a triathlon the next.

Another slow run, much better than yesterday but nothing like two weeks ago when I was in shape.  Spring Break is always rough on me but lots of fun, too bad its my last.

Went to a triathlon training camp.  Don't know the exact distance, but did 4 timed hill repeats on my road bike followed by 2 hill repeats on a run and some drills.  Ran around a field and did some running form drills.  Swam for about 2000yds.  200yds and 800yds were timed.

Spent a little over 2hrs on my bike.  Started strength training with a personal trainer using patented equipment to load 85% of my muscles to exhaustion in less than an hour.  Did squats, arm extension and pull down, and calf raises.

Swam 1500yds ( 500warmup, 16 x 50s w/ 10s rest, 200 cooldown (100 breast stroke, 100, back stroke)

Ran 5.1mi at an 8:30/mi pace around campus.  It was a little windy but the temperature was perfect.  My legs were a little sore from doing squats yesterday and from increasing the time spent on my bike.
