Run Run Run

Went out for a 45 minute TT run. Some significant elevation change. DV loops. Got 6 miles in and felt good about a 7:30 pace with that kind of terrain.

Man Makers Again

On hundred man makers. The first 20 with 30's, then I wussed out and finished the last 80 with 25s.

Gotter done in about 35 minutes.

This is Pete doing his 70th or so man maker. His form's not great, but he's tired.

I thought it would be colder

What a great day.

Started about 3:30 and the sun was out. It was behind big gray clouds when I got out. Did 2 laps around the island. Lots of fishermen, no ski boats. I wasn't in a hurry, just trying to spot and swim strong and pretty. I swam for 37:30. I was a little bummed when I looked at the Google Earths and it looks like one lap is about 0.6 miles. I hoped I'd gone further, but like I said, I wasn't in a hurry. It was windy and choppy. I felt nauseated for a little while, but it went away. I wore 2 swim caps (fluorescent yellow, of course) but I don't think I needed both. They were quite tight on my ears.

Mostly, I was glad for the opportunity to stand next to the highway in nothing but wet briefs.

can I be done?

Finally got my act together for an afternoon ride. 45 minutes. 16.5 miles. 22 mph. wind and hills and a side jaunt or two. Moved my saddle forward and so far I'm glad.
Then a running crossfit:
Three rounds for time of:
Run 800 meters
50 Back Extensions
50 Sit-ups
except I ran last. Total time, don't know.
But my half miles went
3:10
3:07
3:01
I wish I could do a 6 min for 13.1!
Ok bye.

Wreck Center

Squoze (is that even a word?) in a quick swim at the OEC. 6 x 100 with goggle difficulties and rests, alternating breaths every 3 and breaths every 4. Backstroked 100. Then time was running out so I swam 300 and bailed. Just 1K in about 30 minutes. Better than nothing I suppose.

Memorial Ride

After 3 days of physical inactivity, I figured I should go do something. I rode for 90 minutes. made it 23 miles the first hour, then hit some hills and ended with 33 or so in 90 minutes. I was going to brick over to a run, but got the alert that the barbecue was moved up a bit. We were still late even to the previously announced time, oops.

Quitter

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.
