This morning I sort of opted to sleep in...actually, I just never heard the alarm clock, so sleeping in was the ONLY option. Just as well...I think I needed the sleep more than I needed the spin class. So a little later on, I went to the gym and did an easy 10 miles of spinning on the stationary bike (29:26), and then did a 3 mile transition run in 27:38.
This evening was our swim workout, so I did the long swim workout of 3800 yards in about 90 minutes or so. Tired!!! :D |

This morning was our hill workout at Pioneer Park. I ran with Tige and Autumn. I was able to get through 5 repeats, and then I decided to call it a day. Our total time was 54:00, and that includes over 8 minutes of walking.
Later this morning, Tige and Ben and I went out for an "easy" bike ride. I should have known that "easy" with Ben is never "easy" for me...but I survived, and lived to tell the tale. We did 21.4 miles in 1:20:29. :D |

| Nothing this morning. I finished the day off with an hour of Zumba and then Ben and I went to the pool. I swam 3100 yards in about 1:05:00. |

| Today was supposed to be a rest day, but Britnee actually asked me if I would work out with her, so I had to say yes. We woke up early for a 6:00 AM Zumba class, and then we ran home from the gym. I did 3.1 miles in 28:11. :D |

| I woke up early with Ben and we went to the pool to get a swim in. I swam 2100 yards in about 44:00, bringing my total yardage for the week up to 9000. Then at noon, I met Autumn for a 9 mile run on the flat bike trail. I was supposed to be running at a 10:00 pace, but we came in at a 9:06 average. My 9.1 miles took me 1:22:42. I never thought I'd be saying this, but I need to learn to slow down! Haha! Ironman training is so weird... :) |

| I had been dreading this day all week...the day I was supposed to bike a double loop on the Ironman course. I started out a little slow, but by mile 16 I was feeling pretty good, and kicked it into gear! By the time I hit "the wall," I began thinking that I totally could do two full loops, no problem! That's when my chain broke...about 200 feet up the wall. So my 88 mile bike turned into a 23.3 mile ride. And now I have no bike. BOO!!!! The nice thing is, that 23.3 miles of uphills and rollers still only took me 1:40:14...so I averaged 14 mph without any downhill advantage! AND my garmin said I burned 1654 calories, so that's not too bad. I did go to the gym later to try to make up some of my lost milage, but I only lasted 16.3 miles in 48:43. I guess I didn't fuel properly after I got off the bike the first time... :S |
