Welcome back!
Lubbock/Twenty-12 Talent ID was a good experience but the race was quickly over for me. I took a heel in the adam’s apple at the first buoy/250m. That took the breath out of me and I couldn’t recover aerobically. I came out of the water in the last group which was caught by the leaders and lapped on the loop; disqualifying us. Lame, but it happens.
Right now I’m getting ready for the ‘heart of the valley’ triathlon outside of Corvallis, OR. Its a AA Sports race so there should be a good number of competitors. The swim is an indoor swim so I should be able to avoid another heel. For this race I get to go back to the time trial back and dump the draft legal rules. I’m looking forward to it.

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.
