17 mile bike at recovery effort

3 mile run at recovery effort.

I was being really good this morning biking and running really easy.  The bike went great. Then about a mile into the run there was a short steep downhill.  I stayed slow.  I'm talking over 9 minute miles but something twinged a bit in my right calf going down the hill.  I stopped immediately and walk a bit then was able to continue my run without issue.  My calf doesn't seem sore right now a couple hours later but it does seem off a bit.  

60 minute swim trying to focus on keeping my arms out wide.  I was slower than usual, but I did feel less stress on my shoulders and felt stronger at the end.  Hopefully the change will help in the long run.

3 mile run with 7 hill sprints.  After the hill sprints I was slowly running back and something felt weird in my upper left calf so I just waked home.  I don't think it is anything bad, but I didn't want to risk injury so I just walked to be safe.  Better to walk today and be able to run tomorrow than to run today and not be able to run for a week.

19 mile bike. Got a little windy and acually sprinkled on me a bit.

5 mile easy TM run.  No leg issues.

Swim:  10 minute warm up then 24 x 100m. Felt better than last week, but not as good as 2 weeks ago.

5 mile easy run. It was cold outside today!

I rode the last part of the IM course. Ended up going 68 miles. The is a lot of climbing some of which is very steep. That last climb through Snow Canyon is going to be rough at around mile 105 on race day. I'm glad I rode it though. 

Today I rode the very end of the race course. Just doing 23 miles, but that climb through Snow Canyon seemed tougher today with my tired legs from yesterday's ride.
