Day 49, Week 7, Short Run/Short Core [4M/7min]

Good 4 mile run in the cold rain.  It wasn't as miserable as I thought it might be. I got to use my new tri-top and jacket from MMTC. The jacket was great in the cold rain.  My heart rate was well behaved and didn't get up the low 60s.

Day 48, Week 7, Short Swim [2200y]

Really of my pace.  But, first time with swim HRM seem to work well.  HR steadily rose to about 145 at 1900 yds, then rose sharply to 170s and end around 185.  Not in range of concern, but definitely similar to pattern I've been seeing.  My resting heart rate is on the decline after I restarted the metoprolol on Tuesday.  Not down as far as it was yet, but around 45 where is was hovering in the upper 40s.  I expect it to go down to around 40.

Day 47, Week 7, Short Brick [45min/1.75M]

Good short brick.  Heart rate was on the high side in the last 3/8 mile or so, but only top 190 for a moment.

Day 46, Week 7, Swim Drills [1900y]

Good workout. Made it through the second 50y of tarzan. Yeah!

Day 45, Week 7, Long Core [35min]

I got all four sets done in one session. Yeah!  I sign of my increasing strength and time saver since I need only one session now.  Dr. See says I can go back on my metoprolol so hopefully, my heart will start behaving and I can do my runs without stopping.  Only have short runs for the next week and none until Saturday except for short brick on Thursday, so I'll have plenty of time for the metoprolol to come up before next week's 11.75M run.

Day 44, Week 7, Long Brick [19/1M]

Okay ride. I love the route. Speed was held back by conditions. It wasn't rainy, but foggy and damp. Road was wet and brakes too and some of the winding and steep places were unfamiliar.  Came up 1/4-1/2 miles short so went around a block.

Day 43, Week 6, Long Swim/Short Core [2550y/7min]

Boy, that was a tiring swim. I did try breathing out all the time my head was in the water.  The rhythm felt good.  It may have pushed up my level of effort. Exhausted most of the day.  But, I feel like I'll recover just fine for tomorrow's long brick.
