After my evening swim, I ran home from the pool. My gps died before the first mile, but I did manage to see my start time and I quickly checked my finish time when I got home. I felt great and I knew I was running a little faster than easy. Total time was just under 1:10:00 for an average pace of 7:45.

Biked 25 miles for lunch with Cathy and then a few more back to work.

The southern utah triclub meet at the lake for a swim and bike ride.  The water was still cold at 55 degrees.  I swam with the 1 mile group and we all struggled with the cold and the choppy water.  It's all good practice... right?

We then biked up the big hill towards Hurricane and back for a quick 15 miler.  I almost hit a hugh snake in the road... exciting!!!! I then did a 1 mile run right off the biker so I can start practicing transition.  I did a 6:55 pace... my feet were numb!!

A hard track workout today. I only did about 75% of the workout until I dropped out. I did a half mile warm-up, 4 100 sprints with 300 recoveries, 2X200 with 200 recoveries, and 4X800 with 400 recoveries.

The 200's were in 45 sec and the 800's were 3:22, 3:29, 3:22, 3:19. While I was trying to cool down I did 10X100 on the straight-a-ways in 22 sec times.

I realized my problem after the workout that I had only eaten cereal at 6am and a Costco hotdog at noon. I had no fuel for this work out. Bad move on my part!!!
