Run-swim-run

Not sure it was that great of an idea when I started my second run. My calves locked up that first mile, but then everything started to move smooth again. The first run was 4.8 mile loop(7:55). Swam 2300 yds of drills: 20x25, 3x250, 10x50 with 10 & 15 second recoveries between reps. The second run was 10.5 miles (7:40) up to snow cyn and back. Lots of rollers and climbing up to snow cyn. But a nice glide back to the pool. I had 1 mile that was too fast by mistake. My mind was wondering. I was trying to hold the pace just under 8:00 going up and no faster than a 7:30 coming back.

Mile Splits: 8:41, 7:48, 7:42, 7:41, 7:40, swim, 8:12, 7:44, 7:47, 7:54, 7:44, 7:42, 7:22, 7:35, 7:32, 7:36

Pace just under 8 while climbing UP? IMPRESSIVE!

I was just having a good day! You would have did sub-6:00 with ease. :)
