Ride in to work (25km). Then, I have to take the minivan home. Leaving for a business trip to Ft. St. James for a week, then back and IMC bound. Continuing to taper with swims and 15-20min runs over the week. No bike till pretty much IMC :(

Did a 100 minute non-stop swim last night - just a comfortable easy pace did about 2.75 miles. Wanted to feel comfortable breaking the 2.4. barrier. Felt pretty energized afterwards.
Did a 90 minute hard bike this morning - That is becomming a huge bummer - It is dark so early again- having to wait until 5:30 now, and that is pushing it. Don't want to think about using the trainer in the mornings. ARG!
Core work and yoga stuff tonight.

Going home, having a BBQ, and then maybe out for a quick 20k ride, 3k run. Low intensity before my race on Sunday.
I know the feeling about downhill speed. I hit 87kph a week or so ago and was absolutely terrified. Haven't been over 70 since and even that is fast.
Did you know the downhill speed record on a bike is 212kph? Thats ridiculous.

-1700 yards in the pool. Wish i could get at least 2000 but time wise it's hardly possible. I wish my pool opened 30 minutes earlier.
-25 mile commute.
-Maybe a tempo 10k this evening.

waygtdt 081705.....(what are you going to do today :D). Thats what the thread should be called for me since I am a notorious night trainer.
1500 swim is on the schedule along with some flexibility/weights work.

Went to the mechanic today to have my oil changed and brakes checked out. I brought my bike with me so I could bike to one of my favorite coffee shops nearby and do some reading while my car was being taken care of. After an hour, I returned to the shop where they tell me there's something wrong and they actually have to spend a few hours on it. I was so glad I brought my bike. I left my car there, and rode home. It was nice and early in the morning too, so it felt great.

Climbed and decended Pawnee Pass with a 40lb pack. Then climbed and decended another 1000 feet up the side of some mountain on the way home. 4 days, three nights, 32 + miles before altitude adjustments. Heck of a trip.

Open ocean swim w/my TEAM. Big surf 3-5 w/occasional 8-10 ft sets. The lifeguards wouldn't let us go out due to the rip currents. So we taught a couple people on our team to duck dive under the waves because they didn't have any wave experience. Yummy dinner at a mexican place named Fred's. :-) Need to put in a hard workout today though.

I couldn't hit the pool so I jumped in the shower and had T1 set up outside. did T1 and biked for 21 min. Not really sure how far that came out to I am guessing about 4 miles. ha ha. then I ran for 24 and that was like 5k. It felt great though!!! Kinda short next to what everyone else is doing but it was great for me. I just have to hit the bike a little harder in the next few days.

Yeah it was pretty funny! My family stood around laughing at me. I wanted to test out the bike ride when I was wet though. It worked I guess but It was pretty damn funny to see.

Road 2 hours 15 minutes today. Went up the mountain again this week. Trying to do that a few times a month at the least. Felt pretty good. Hit 45 mph coming down, scary (but more comfortable with it than last week).
