AM - Pioneer park Hills - 4 repeats at a slow pace than normal. We needed to treat this as a recovery week after last weekends race. Felt good... legs seemed a little tired.

The slow paces were from me talking too much. That seemed to slow everyone down... Doh!! We did our 2 min zippy walked in between each interval.

At noon... in order for my 5 yr old Joseph to earn his lunch, he had to ride his bike along with my easy run. We had a lot of hills so he accually slowed me down because I had to literally push him up every hill. His front wheel was bent so the rubbing slowed him down, and the poor little guy ran out of gas by mile 4. Lucky for him the last 2 miles were down hill. Average pace = 8:35 We ate at burger king at his request! I wanted crack in the box!!

PM - When Breanna showed up with both fast Daves I knew I was in trouble!!!!! Each of us were set up according to our level of strength in the water. Since I was one of the slow ones, my workout was in groups of 200's, (ie: breanna 250s, fast dave 300s and faster dave was 350s) This was not an easy workout for me today... the run I did early had me a little worn down for swim. I was tired and cramping, but I survived!!!

Warm-up: 200 free, 200 kick, 200 pull
4X50 (50sec)

Craig, Heath, and I rode the entire IM bike course (111 miles). We took it easy and just had fun with it. I cruised in fast the last downhill section of our second loop. I worked on a different nutrition plan. I only used the protein products for the first 50 miles and then only relied on sports drinks, gu, and chomps for the rest of the ride. I did surprisingly well. No tired legs and our run was easy. Today was my first time using the aero position... I flew coming down hwy 18!!! Natalie joined us for the second loop!! We all ran after... us boys ran a 5k (8:48 pace) and Natalie did 4 miles. Legs felt good... strong!!! Ran with no problems!! :)
