Got up early and on the bike at 5:45. I set out for 2 ten mile loops - it was frigid. On the Uphill side I could not get things moving. Small chainring, putt, putt. So, after it took me a few minutes longer to complete the first loop, I bailed. I think rest will do me better. So 10 miles in 32 minutes or so. Better take 'er easy today.
Quitter.

Hurry
Got to the pool a little later than I hoped, since I needed to be out of there at 6:30. But I warmed up 500 skps. Then started the masters workout. 10 x 150 (100 fast, 50 stroke (back or breast))
Then 10 x 50 (odds stroke, evens free) Ionly got through 6 of 'em and didn't do the 500 pull that came last. But I got in 2300 yds in the hour that I was there.
Then at 7pm, I went on a 7 mile mtn bike ride with the boy scouts. It took over an hour, good times though.

I was running again
I wanted to go 8 miles or one hour, which ever was longer. I hit the eight mile at 59:30. Hooray for me. I spent the last ten minutes trying to up the pace - but I think I just maintained it. 7:26 average. I feel like I could maintain that pace for another 35 minutes, which is what it's going to take in Boise. I stayed fairly flat to simulate the race terrain, but got out too late. I ran right at sunset which was amazingly pretty and comfortable. I don't anticipate the atmospheric conditions as being such for the Half. Looking forward to it, though.

Treadmill Tabata
20 sec on, 10 sec off x 8
I really need to do this with others - the herd mentality.
Started 12%, 9 mph - turned it down after a few to 10%, 8.5 mph.
I know.
It still hurt.
Warmed up about 5 min outside, cooled down about 2 min on the tready
Then did some core:
Front situps, side, side, knees to elbows, back extesions - 450 reps total.

56.6 MPH
Hit a new land speed record for myself coming down an 8% grade in the aerobars. Yikes.
I also climbed what felt like a 20% grade, but more than likely wasn't. 2:50 on the bike only travelling 56.5 miles (lots of climbing)
And ran 15 minutes right after covering 2 miles. Trying to set the pace at 7 - 7:20 for the big one.
I am beat. Am I just old?
