Water exit from the Black Diamond Triathlon. That swim was cold and long.
Today was a great day at the gym and on the road. I started the day with a timed 5k. I was able to eek out a 17:30 5k which ain’t shabby at all. If I can throw a time like that down at a race I wouldn’t have to look back much. After the run I hit up the gym for a nice 3000 yard swim. After a few hours of rest I went back to the gym for a 45 minute 10K run then hit the pool again for a 1000 yard cool-down. Sadly I didn’t have time to work on the bike. Tomorrow Ill be more diligent

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.
