day 102

SWIM- straight 2000. Hit the mile @ 28:12, full 2000 in 34:13. Felt smooth and comfortable. Funny how I don't seem to warm up until 1000 or so. Then I get in a groove that I can maintain for a while. Thats a good thing, I guess.

BIKE- 1:00, 125 bpm, with 4x5min z4 intervals @ 3min spin, 183watts, 23.47 miles.

Sunday RUN with the cult. I decided to step up and push myself to run with Karen, Jen, and Marco. Hung in there with them, and had a nice run. My best ever.

day 97

So, since I was supposed to do 3.5 hours on the bike, I decided to do a combo of the Pshop Wed AND Sunday loops. I knew it was going to be super-D-duper windy, but I bundled up and went anyway. I figured it would be an exercise in mental toughness if it was THAT windy. WELL, it was that windy, and I'm a big pussy. Thats what I learned today. Actually, I muscled through, but Jesus H., do I feel like crap now. To be fair, I guess a 15-20mph wind would do most people in on a 3.5 hour ride. That headwind...omg. I was on a flat road, doing 380 watts, and moving at 13.6 mph. FLAT ROAD.

Well, anyway...I feel tough now. :)

BIKE- 3:12:14, 52.09 miles, 123bpm, 3763cals

day 96

I was *supposed to do a 1:00 run and a long swim today. While I woke up at 5:30 for my run, I lasted a little more than 10:00 on the treadmill (it was cold and rainy) before bagging it. I didn't feel right...I was tired...my leg hurt...I was NOT motivated. I listened to my body (blah blah) and sat and watched Sportscenter instead.

After work, I went down to Rowan...determined to get a straight 3000 swim in, to get back on track. I hopped in, did a 100 warm up, and set my timer on my watch. A little more than 50 minutes later (and 120 laps), I was done and happy. I don't know if they used more chlorine than usual, or if I'm becoming pickled by chlorine or what, but my skin is all chalky. So bad that I had to use Vaseline on it after my shower. My face is pretty dry, but my arms are the worst. Better keep up with the moisturizer.

RUN- 10:00 then bagged.
SWIM- 100 wu, 3000 straight (50:02) Hit the mile in 27:12, and the 2500 in 41:15.
