Solid swim this morning.  10 minute warm up then 24 x 100 m repeats all under 145, averaged 1:41.  Then 6 mile run nice and easy.

I was totally not with it this morning mentally or physically.  I couldn't seem to get all my bike gear together and then once I finally got out there about 5 miles into the ride I realized I wasn't wearing my helmet, so I just returned home and called the ride done at 10 miles.  

Then I did a 3 mile run with 5 x 0.1 mile hill sprints.  The whole thing was lethargic.  Maybe I should have just stayed in bed this morning, but I already took a rest day on Monday so I just did what I did.  Hopefully I'm feeling more normal tomorrow.

50 minute open water lake swim on a chilly 55 degree morning. The water was furtunately warmer than the air.  It was my first open water swim of the season that I didn't go through mental struggles of why I was out there and how much I really didn't want to do it.

My GPS doesn't work too well when doing open water swimming.  I think it was about 2 miles.

I have a PT appointment at 11:00 this morning and I wanted to get in a long bike/run so I started at midnight. I rode 100 miles which took 5 hours 33 minutes plus stopped time. Then I got out the door a little before 6:00 for a 20 mile run which went great through 16 miles then I started getting slower and slower until I was reduced to a walk fo the last 2 miles. For some of the middle miles I was doing a run 4 minutes then walk 1 minute routine which seemed to work nicely and kept me right around 9 minutes per mile. I think I will employ that strategy from the start of the run on race day to try and avoid the dreaded bonk.

2 mile walk with Doone. Legs feel pretty good after yesterday's long effort.
