Catch Me If You Can

Ran with Hubby in the eve. It was pouring rain the half hour before we left. We got lucky and it was clear our whole run, yet really humid. Got home after sunset. Very nice run with hubby at 10pace.

Bike 36.23 miles

Run 3.04 miles

Was hot and I took it relatively easy. 

I've been alternating in my asics racing flats on some shorter runs just to give my feet a different feel. I usually just use these on the track. I really like the minimalist feel. 

Went with Sarah J. and Coach Heath. We previewed part of the BAM course. We talked about pacing on the bike relative to the terrain. I wasn't a fan of the course when I rode it a few weeks ago, and was still undecided as to whether I wanted to race or not. I kind of like the quirky winding bike course. One of my gel packets (Accelerade Keylime Pie, YUM) fell out of my Bento Box...I was bummed, but didn't want to go searching for it. I still had another to eat. 18.06 miles

After we ran through the trails where the run will be. Without signs we kind of made up our own path. It is at Soldier Hollow on the cross country ski trails. Funny thing...We all had to pee at the same time...be we found our own bushes. :D 2.77miles

So anyhow. Race is Saturday. I registered Wed Eve for it, $85 and that is with a $20 discount. TRI races are so freaking expensive. :P 

Today I went and swam some. My left shoulder (my retarded side) was already sore from lifting on Tuesday, and then I made it worse by trying to correct my left side form too much. I have hardly swam much this month. I used to swim 10,000yd a week at least and I really have only swam 3000yd max a week, so I really have slowed down. You lose swim fitness 3x faster than run fitness my coach says...1800yd

I called my massage therapist for an emergency massage to work my shoulder, and also my right calf which is acting up again. I'm going to make it a tradition to get a massage the Thursday prior to any race I do. :D
