Swim/Run/Softball

This morning's swim was one of the craziest so far. I swam 2000 yards total. I had a lot of kick and pull work today. I had a 500 yard swim set in there but that was it as far straight swimming.

I also got in a 60 minute run covering 6.84 miles. This was a treadmill run just to keep an average speed. I started at 6.3 mph and moved to 6.7 at 10 minutes and then 7.1 after another 10 minutes. Then I worked down in the same fashion. It was a relatively good run overall.

Then I had softball tonight. I should wear my garmin sometime I am playing just to see how far I run during that.

Ride and Swim

I got home tonight and did a 24 mile ride. I averaged 20.2 mph and climbed more hills than my 20.6 mph ride last Monday. This is my second 20+ mph ride ever and it felt awesome.

Then I took a little over an hour to rest and eat some fruit and went to the gym to swim. I swam 1250 yards. My main set was 800 yards straight and I averaged 1:47min/100 yards. Comparing this with the last time I did this workout, I did 1:54min/100 yards last time. This was just over a month and a half ago and most of my improvement has shown over the last 2-3 weeks. I am hoping I can continue to make increases like this for the next 2 months and get my swim under 1:40.

Run Saturday/Ride Sunday

I ran on Saturday morning. I waited a little longer than I wanted to in order to start it though and the sun just beat down on me. I got in a 70 minutes, 8.25 mile run overall. It was slower pace but felt harder than it should have. I think working back into the heat is gonna be rough. I am not looking forward to starting my swim at 7:15, biking from 8-11 and running from 11-1 at the half iron man.

Today I got in 35 miles on my bike. I rode out to longview lake, did 2 loops and came back. I had a good average over 19.5 until I had to come back home through town and hit every stop light on the way :(
