Rhett

I considered doing a swim then run, but decided it would be nice for my legs to get another day's rest after Friday's long bike/run, so I did a long open water swim this morning...1 hour 15 minutes, approximately 3 miles.  It was really nice and enjoyable.  I think I've overcome the mental part of the open water swimming and am now really starting to enjoy it more than the pool, not having to turn every 25 meters.

25 mile bike ride pushing the pace then 6 mile run also pushing the pace.  Felt good to go a little faster. Legs seem to be recovered from Friday's effort.

Today was my first lake swim when the water was choppy from the wind.  It wasn't horribly choppy, but enough that at the beginning I kept enhaling water when I looked up to spot.  Eventuaully I got the hang of swimming in the chop though.  It was good practice incase it is windy on race day.  It did slow me down a bit though.  53 minutes for approximately 2 miles.

3 miles with 5 x 0.1 mile hill sprints.  Felt strong.

37 mile bike with a nice 6 mile 1200 ft climb near the end.  It was a strong effort.

Started the morning with a swim. After 10 minute warm up I began my 100 m repeats around number 12 my times started dropping significantly. I did a few more to see if I could get it back but only got slower so I cut the workout short. 
 

Then I went out for a run which I also cut short at 10 miles since I just wasn't feeling it. I guess my body is tired.  Good thing I am in my first week of taper and next week will be even less work. 

70 miles on the bike.  Rode stong even in the wind. 18.8 mph. 
Last longish ride before the IM.
