Speed Work 10x100 with ~15secs between intervals
Recovery 500yards
Speed Work 200(20sec)150(15)100(10)50

Total Yards 2350

Swim was good, the recovery between the 100s was a little long but I was still breathing heavy as I started each set. It was good to push myself as I really wanted to stop after the 6th interval.  The second round of speed work went really well.

Came home and took my dog for a 1.6 mile run, I didn't time it but it felt like a 8:30 pace.

Today's class was a lot of interval work and limited climbing.  Legs were still a little heavy from Sunday.  Need to start doing brick work in the mornings.

Bike 110731

Just under 26 miles (25.83) in 1:37:00 - bike watch doesn't have seconds.  Tough as it was VERY hot but it was good to get in a long ride on the road.  Course was hilly and next time I want to bring a Gatorade as well as water .
Course is here.

Swim 110729

Warm up:
50/100/200
3x750 yards

Total: 2600 Yards

Good swim, again took until the 200 yard set of my warm up to shake the sleep out of my body.  I didn't keep exact time as I was more focused on just working on increasing my distance.  I would say the times were <15min, 15:30, and 16 min.  I didn't feel like I was any slower but I was swimming about 5 secs per lap slower.  I was in the end lane versus my typical middle lane.

2250 total yards or a little over 1.25 miles.Between getting adjusted to the morning and warming up, the first three sets were tough.  But then I was able to get into my old rhythm of 1 Min/50yards and then it was just a matter of counting laps.  The ladder was a good way to get back in to it.  My next swim session will be longer sets.

Finally started dragging my butt out of bed in the morning.

Adirondack Vacation

Just got back from a great vacation in Old Forge and Lake Placid.  My dad and I took the kids up to the High Peaks region and climbed Cascade and Porter mountains.  The kids and I  then met Carrie in Old Forge for a week with her family.

Spending the week driving up and down the Fulton Chain as we visited the ADK Museum in Blue Mountain, Hoss's in Long Lake, a day at Buttermilk Falls, and two days boating on First through Fourth lakes I was reminded how much I miss doing the Adirondack Canoe Classic.  I will hopefully be able to fit it in next year.

Run 110714

Ran home from Honda, still don't have my watched fixed but pace was good.  Didn't push it.
