| I did a mini triathlon with Blake this morning. We started with about 2/3 mile swim in the lake that took 20 minutes. Then we did an 18 mile bike ride in 54 minutes and finished with a 3 mile run. Unfortunately we had to cut the run short and slow it down a bit because my calf started acting up again. Looks like it will be another week without running. :( | | Comments(3) |

| 58 minute bike ride of 19.25 miles this morning. I was planning on swimming after work but work stressed me out too badly today and I didn't feel like doing it. I never understood how people would let work stress keep them from working out until now. It just mentally drains you and cuts any desire to do anything, even eat. | | Add Comment |

2 mile easy run to test out my calf. It felt fine for those 2 miles, but I took it real easy.

45 minute lake swim. It was really choppy this morning. I tried to welcome it as practice for a possible windy race day. I did choke on water once but flipped to my back until I recovered and then continued on.
PM
2 easy miles around the track where my son was playing soccer. Calf still feels good.

1 hour bike ride but 15 minutes of that I was changing a flat. I hit a rock and blew out my front tire. Luckily my training buddy Blake happened to be riding by as I was changing my flat and he gave me an extra tire and CO2 cartrige so I could finish up my ride without worring about getting stranded.
PM
20 minute lake swim. That is all I had time for since I had to pick up Tally from Dance.

| 30 minute out and a bit faster back this morning. Ended up running 7.7 miles. The best part is that my calf didn't bother me at all, not even a little tight.

| Blake and I headed to Lake Mead near Las Vegas this morning to ride the course where our half ironman is next month. We road the first 49 miles of the course. It is up and down the whole way, not even a small stretch of flat and it gets very steep a lot. I rode a lot in my smallest gear. The bad part is they say those last 7 miles are the hardest part. I think I will be lucky to do the bike course in 3:10 on race day. After the ride we did an easy 4 mile run which felt good considering we had just ridden so far. |

| 1 hour morning bike ride. I'm getting faster!
After work I had to swim at the aquatic center because it was crazy windy out and the lake looked like the ocean. I swam one mile in 30 minutes. I don't like doing laps in a pool. I never seem to get in a good rhthym having to turn every 25 meters. I definitely perfer open water swimming.
5 miles running later in the evening waiting for Chase to finish soccer practice.

I may try and get in one more ride on my trainer tonight since it will be my last ride I get in before heading off to Hawaii with my sweetie for a week. Hopefully I'll get in some running and swimming while there, but the bike is staying home.

It felt good to get back home and run. The weather changed while we were gone and it is now nice and dry and cool. The next 8 months will rock for running around here!
