It was a lovely day for a bike ride, 60 oF and sunny with a light breeze.  I haven't been outside on my road bike since last november although I do ride my mountain bike to class everyday.  It was a nice change from the trainer and I went 30mi and averaged about 17.5mph.  The hills are so much fun, but also kind of scary because so many people use the trail and there are several blind corners.

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.
