New PR Run

I was a nice cool morning and the legs felt good. I like sunny low humidity mornings better than humid, overcast, side-stepping puddles from last night’s rain mornings, but who’s complaining. I was really sluggish on my last few runs, so it felt good to have the energy to pick the pace up and maintain it.

Interval Swim

I decided to mix it up for the first time ever, so instead of just grinding it out at my normal pace I did 10 warm up laps, followed by a couple laps with the kick board and then 6 sets of 2 sprint laps with 30 sec. rest in between. It was nice to do something different for a change of pace.

Partial Brick

Did a hill training run after my open water swim.  My first tri was on a very flat course, so I’m trying to work some hill training in before my next tri which is on a somewhat hillier course.

Open Water Swim

I figured out why my shoulders fatigue more in open water than they do in the lap pool….flip turns.  In the lap pool they get a momentary break every 25 yards.  I clearly need to work on my shoulder strength and get more open water practice before my next tri.
