I knew I was going to get out of work earlier than normal today, so I decided to take advantage of the cool morning and run, then do my swim right after work.
After 1 mile warm up, I did 4 x 1 mile (6:12, 6:09, 6:13, 6:02) with half mile recovery jogs and then a cool down until I hit 8 miles. I entertained ideas of doing a fifth repeat, but decided it would be better to end on a fast mile than throw in another that would probably be in a disappointing time.
I finished work about 3:15 this afternoon and headed straight to the lake. Afer a 1 mile run barefoot in the grass with strides, I decided to do my swim without a wetsuite. It was cold, but not too bad. I did a full 40 minutes and swam pretty much the same distance I've been doing with the wetsuite in that amount of time.
