I set my alarm last night but I forgot to turn it on, so I slept in a bit, and only had time for a swim...60 minutes. I felt strong and was a bit faster than usual.  

I was planning on running after the swim but didn't have time.  Not sure if I'll do the run tonight or just wait until tomorrow.

Last night I sat in the hot tub for 30 minutes and it felt really nice.  I think I'm going to try and do that each night until my IM to try and heat/humidity adapt for Houston's weather.  

This morning I ran 6 miles down by the lake and along the channel.  That has become my new favorite run.  It is so pretty down there and there are pleanty of people out and about walking and running.  It is just so nice first thing in the morning with the sun rising.

1 hour zwift ride with Blake for 22.5 miles then sat in the hot tub for 25 minutes.

1 hour swim.  It was my fastest pace for an hour swim since last year before my IM.  Looks like my swim is peaking at the right time!

30 minutes in the hot tub tonight, felt nice.

6 slow miles by the lake this morning.  My legs felt tired for some reason even though I haven't done as much as usual this week.

1 mile swim in a very choppy lake due to high winds. Surprisingly I was about my normal pace even battling the waves. 
I didn't feel like battling the wind on my bike so I did a 40 mile Zwift ride after the swim. 
30 minutes in the hot tub tonight.

I wanted to do some afternoon training when it was hotter and just later in the day since the IM will goal the way through the day and likely into the night. 
25 mile bike after lunch followed by a 6 mile run. 89 degrees and sunny. 
Hopefully it will be cooler and cloudy in Houston next week. 
Hot tub tonight.
