day 69

Good news this morning! Was (-4) at my Biggest Loser weigh in. The downside though, was that, because I weighed in at 7:30, I didn't eat breakfast until 7:45. My swim workout starts at 8. I don't think I gave myself enough time to let my fuel sink in. When I got in the pool, my warmup was fine, but we were scheduled for a 200TT. I was going along fine, but felt weird, and did a :33 for the first 50. Something didn't feel right, and at the turn I swallowed a mouthful of water. I coasted back to the wall, and asked Nick if I could have a do over. I was going to go again in the next heat, but again, felt shitty. I definitely felt weak and shaky, and for once I listened to my body and just called it a day for my swim workout. No big deal, I knew I was going to have to do my bike later anyway. Just finished up on the bike..did an OK 1:30:00, didn't really push, in case this shaky thing is something more than just food issue. Still, a good workout. Oh, I did push at the end. I did 6x:15 sec all out sprints, and got up over 900watts on each.

Swim- 400 wu/ half of 2 200 TT lol
BIKE- 1:30:00, 35.34 miles, 118 bpm, 163 watts (1,029 max watts)

day 68

Skipped my workout last night, since I had a slight migraine hangover. I started to feel a headache at around 5pm, and took some excedrin. It worked, but the headache kinda lingered. I was really tired at 8pm, so I decided to just rest and focus on my run this morning. It worked, and I woke up without a headache. I had a nice run, although it was drizzly outside, and I was WAY overdressed.

RUN- 1:01:09, 124bpm, 712 cals

day 67

I was *UNDER 220 today.

Part 1- SWIM (6AM) 200wu, 3x500

day 66

Well, my bike is at the shop. Parts are being switched out, and put onto a Lemond Zurich frame that I got from my buddy, Shawn. Full carbon, a definite upgrade from my Aluminium/carbon Fuji Professional. We considered setting it up as tri right from the start, but I'm thinking I want to ride it regular, then figure out what fitting needs to happen when I get the aero bars and stuff on there. We'll see.

Todays workout:

BIKE: 45:00, 17.79 miles, 121bpm, 191 watts
RUN- 30:00, 2.47 miles

TOTAL: 1:16:38, 123 bpm, 869cals

day 65

Walked IN to Rowan feeling tired and yawning. Wasn't sure about this workout tonight. I knew I was supposed to meet Bryan at 8 to run, but I really wasn't feeling it. I'm glad he showed up and helped me get through the hour run.

SWIM- 300 wu, 2x300 (before class), class workout= 15x(broken 75). We basically did 25's and 50's on VERY short intervals as Nick called them out. Very little break between. Very all out efforts. Nice workout of short distance swims. 300cd

RUN- 1:00, 135bpm, 827cals

day 64

Weighed in @ 222 this morning.

Had a solid week last week. Stuck to training plan, with little deviation...except for Saturday, because I was scheduled to work. I was supposed to do a 2:45 bike. I woke up early, determined to get 2:00 in on the trainer before work. I set my alarm for 4:40, and was on the bike watching Donnie Brasco by 5. I stayed on til 7 to get the 2:00 in. Other than that, followed the plan AND the diet plan to the "T". Lost 1.5 in the Biggest Loser comp, which puts me at around 10% since 1/13. I'm also working on a plan that would upgrade my bike by spring time...but we'll see how that goes and get back to you.
