60 minute swim at nice comfortable effort.

Imediately followed by a 6 mile run that started nice and easy around 8:30 pace and turned into a progression run with each mile getting faster and the last one being just under 7:30 pace.

I wasn't sure how my legs would feel this morning and my guads were still a bit sore but overall I felt pretty strong on my run.  Thank goodness for the day of rest yesterday.

22 mile Zift ride followed by 6 mile TM run.

I am really feeling good lately, hopefully peaking at the right time.  It always scares me when I start feeling like this, because quite often this is when I get an injury.  I'm hoping this time is different and I go into race day feeling 100%.  I've been taking creatine as part of my recovery drink every day for about a month.  I'm not sure but maybe that is really making a difference.

24 more Zwift miles with Blake tonight at a moderate to easy effort.

I slept in a bit this morning and boy did it feel good!  Then I did a 60 minute swim which also felt really good, but I don't know how far I went because I forgot my watch.

I got up early to get in a long run before work this morning.  It was a bit breezey and cool but not bad for a long slow run.  I averaged just under 9 minute miles and felt pretty strong until around my 17.  By the time I hit 18 I could tell I might end up with a calf problem if I continued on, so I stopped there instead of finishing 20 as planned.  I feel pretty good afterwards and my calvess, while tired, don't seem to be injured.  Hopefully they stay that way throughout the day.  Tomorrow I'll be doing a lake swim and a long bike; Saturday Lane and I will be skiing all day; and Sunday is always my rest day, so I won't be running again until Monday. That is probably a good thing to help my calves recover well.

I spent the day skiing with Lane at Brian Head.  It was one of the most beautiful ski days I have ever had and we had a lot of fun. Lane has really improved in his skiing and his skiing confidence.
