60 minute swim.  I would have sworn I was swimming faster today, but I was just right at my usual pace.  Kind of dissapointing but at least I felt easier.

Then 4 miles nice and easy on the TM.  Calf felt great, hammy was a bit tight.

PT and a good hot tub soak tonight.

Boy did I feel good this morning!

24 mile ride at a faster pace than usual but with what felt like the same amount of effort.  Then 4 miles on the TM at a comfortable pace which ended up being exactly 8 minute miles.  I know that doesn't sound fast, but I've been doing my TM runs after swimming or biking closer to 9 minute miles.  Maybe my fitness is taking a turn for the better.

Tonight PT and another good hot tub soak.

24 mile bike felt good but not as great as Tuesday, followed by a solid but comfortable 4 mile TM run.

12 mile trail run really slow. No calf issues, very slight hammy tightness. 

went PT. Had some deep tissue work, needling, and stretching. 

70 minute slow steady swim. Made it 3400 meters. 400 short of IM distance.

2.5 mile hike with the youth from church. Climbed Table Top. 
 

66 mile ride. I was definitely faster than usual today!  I think my fitness is improving and I was was trying a new gel that they say absorbs easier so you can take it more often and keep your energy up. I took it every 20 minutes and it seemed to work well without making my stomach upset. 
 

Next week will be a recovery week.
