Started at Sand Hollow Reservoir and we biked 67.3 miles (17.3 mph ave) of the IM course with 1 loop. We did really well with pacing, nutrition, and slowing down on the big climbs. After the big hills I needed no recovery and I was riding faster than usual. Good ride!! We transitioned to run 1 loop of the IM run course. Did well there too!

I was surprised how good I felt after the bike. We were strong during the entire run. We ran a little too fast but maybe that will be my actual pace (8:55) by IM... I hope?! We started at the Snow Cyn softball fields and ran one loop of the IM run course.

Splits: 8:22, 9:05, 9:10, 8:40, 8:10, 9:12 (turned around and headed back), 9:29, 9:06, 10:12, 8:38, 8:18, 8:51, & 8:12 last 0.3 mile.

Ran 6 easy with Craig and Autumn at 5am. Nice pace of 9:15. We have a 2 segment run today. Later I have to run a tempo.

Later... Ran 1.5 warm-up, 3 mile tempo, 1.5 cool down.  My warm-up and cool down were all up hill. I ran up so I could do my tempo on a downhill slope. Not very consistent on my splits. It's odd that the flatter the terrain per mile split the faster times were made. Oh well!!!

Splits: 7:27, 7:00, 6:51

A ride with the tri-club... We headed out to Sand Hollow, circled through Hurricane, then hit the IM course back to Snow Cyn Parkway, and back home. We took it easy and this route is much easier than the IM bike course. Barely got a workout from it! Biked 73 miles at a 17.3 mph ave.

I ran 6.3 miles right after the bike! Averaged a 8:23 pace. I just ran easy up tonaquint drive, circled bloomington, and came back. Hilly but not hard!

AM - I was in spin class all by myself today. Craig has sore knees and Cathy is all munched up from her bike wreck yesterday. I ran 3 miles after spin on the TM at a 9:00 pace.

PM - Swim - I jacked up my shoulder yesterday so I focused on kicks. I had fins on the entire workout. Even when I did free-style I used legs more than arms.

400 kicks, 6X50 free, 100 kicks, 3X100 free, 200 free, 200 kicks, 6X50 free, 200 kick

Spun on a stationary bike for 25 min at the resort before my run. I ran the IM course in Oceanside. Wet, Windy, and Easy. I love running at sea level! The slower times in the middle were rollers.
