I'm changing it up this week and am going to try and start swimming 3 times per week, so I swam today.

Warm up then 10 x 200 m.  I was keeping a good pace for the first 6 but the last 4 were slow.

13 miles Zwift races. Rode hard but was at the back of the pack. Category B is way harder then C. 
Then did some calf raises and 10 minutes jumping rope.

I was excited to run this morning.  After some calf stretches and raises I started on the TM running easy, about a half mile in I could tell my right calf still wasn't right so I walked another half mile and then did pilates for half an hour.  

I definitely stopped way earlier than I usually do, but I could tell it wasn't right and that if I continued then I'd be limping around the rest of the day.  One of these days my claves are going to be 100% again.  Today wasn't that day though.

I was going to do a Zwift ride last night, but Cade recieved his mission call and we were talking with him throughout the evening.  He's going to Costa Rica and is super excited.

This morning I swam.

10 minute warm up then 20 x 100m on the 2:30.  I was starting to fade near the halfway mark when I made a small adjustment in my stroke and found some new efficiency and speed and ended up finishing strong, my best swim of the season.  Hopefully I can build on that going forward.

I had the time and energy to workout tonight. I started with some core work, then did a 1 mile TM weighted vest walk, then did a 1 hour Zwift group workout that was the hardest one I've done so far. I though about quitting a few times but stuck it out to the end.

Today was a take care of the body morning.  I did a 45 minute pilates session then 10 minutes jump rope.  It felt good.

my20 mile Zwift ride. 
4 mile trail run. 
75 minute swim. 
 

Felt pretty solid on all 3. Most importantly my calf didn't bother me!  Hopefully I'll get back to regular running again.

Rode 14 miles with Craig with a long uphill climb for about 5 miles. Then did the Dirty Turkey trail run which is 3.3 miles with about 1000 ft climbing. It was super fun. I was planning on doing a 50 mile Zwift ride after but my body is telling me to take the rest of the day off. Still recovering from yesterday I guess. 
 

Best news is my calf did not bother me again today!!!
