Welcome back!
Second and final lap of the Black Diamond Tri run leg.
Well today started with a 43:00 10k. Not too bad but I had way to much left in the tanks at the end. Should have set a harder pace from the beginning. Also the 43 minutes may be decieving. FYI I do 5 mins of slow jogging to get my legs ready. So don’t think that a 43min 10k is my race time 
After the run I hit the pool for a really good workout. I didnt hit the bike today but I plan on doing at least a 40k tomorrow at around an 80% pace. My swimming conditioning has hit a great point. I’m definitely feeling great about my chances at Treasure Island. Time to get hotel reservations!!
Swim Workout
10X50’s, 25,50,75,100,200 ladder (750 Total), 1750 (great that I can just go swim that much in a row, bids well for olympic distance races).

My workout today was almost entirely in the gym. I started the day with a light run/walk with a friend at Tyron park in Lake Oswego which barely got my heart rate up. After that I pretty much ate then went straight to the gym. At the gym I did 40 minutes on the treadmill which gave me a total of about 5.6 miles. Used a packet of GU 15 minutes in which definitely gave me a little extra kick towards the end. After the run workout I hit the pool for a decent workout. I’m a little sore from the last few days so the workout was fairly erratic. I would venture a guess of around 2000 yards today. Because I seem to enjoy an extra large dose of lactic acid I hit the stationary bike for 30 minutes after. Overall it was a pretty tiring day. Tomorrows post will have a little more bike tech stuff as I’m starting to get the bike ready for the race.
