Great open water swim at Lake Royer in Ft. Ritchie. Garmin watch didn't perform very well, but it was short, 75m, out and back loops. My watch said I did 2367 yards, but I did 15 laps which works out to 2250m or 2461y. The GPS maps was all over the place. Rough estimate of out to the buoys and back was .02M~35y, so total is 2496. I'd planned 14 lap which would've been about 2330y the minimum I could to get my 2200y plan with 150m loops. Time was 56:37 for a pace of 2:16.
Thoughts on my 26 week training for the Waterman's Half-Ironman on September 29th, 2018.

Day 34, Week 5, Short Bike [45min]
My standard trainer, 45 minutes with 30 seconds each leg single at the 5 minutes marks. I got better at understanding the motion my legs needs. The left leg is doing much better than my right, but my right leg is coming along nicely. I almost was able to do it smoothly for a full 30s seconds. When I get I can do both pretty consistently, then I'll move up to 45 seconds every 5:30.

Day 33, Week 5, Medium Run/Short Core [7M/7min]
Made it, but heart rate was spikey. Walked quite a bit. Plan for long run and maybe all runs now is try 2 miles running, 1/4 mile walking.

Day 32, Week 5, Swim Drills [1900y]
Good work out. Started being more mindful and focusing on what each drill does for me. I also made up 7min core I missed yesterday.

Day 31, Week 5, Short Run/Short Core [4M/7min]
Thought I was gonna make it without my heart rate spiking, but it did at 3.6 miles. It came down at 3.91 miles, so I got a bit more running at the elevated pace. I did elevated my pace at 2.25 miles plan on 1.75 miles elevated. Oh, well, c'est la vie. I got 4 miles in, that was the plan however I got there. I forgot the 7min core. Make it up tomorrow.

Day 30, Week 5, Long Swim [2450y]
Good increase in distance. The longest since January 1st. In four weeks I'll get to 1.5 miles! I adjusted my weeks to start on Mondays to match my regular weekly exercise schedule that starts on Monday's. My long workouts will now be the last day of each training week.

Day 29, Week 4, Long Core [30min]
Stepped up to do three of the 4 sets altogether with 5 minutes rest in between and kept up with full push-ups all the way, yeah! I'll work until I can do 4 sets altogether, then work on shortening breaks.
