Day 63, Week 9, Short Swim/Core [2200yd/8:30min]
Slow today, 2:22 instead of normal 2:15. Oh, well. Life goes on. I got my planned workout in and that's what counts.

Day 61, Week 9, Swim Drills [1900y]
Good drills today. Made Tarzan drill all the way both times. Yeah! And got 2 sets of core work done so I'm all made up missing last weeks 4 set workout from being sick.

Day 60, Week 9, Medium Run [7M]
Good run. I thought about 2nd gear for last mile, but thought nah. I kept in 1st and my pace came out 10:15. I'm pleased with anything sub 10:20. The couple of 4 mile 2nd gear runs I've done recently helped get down to 10:15 today. I'm happy.

Day 59, Week 9, Long Swim [2650y]
Excellent 1.5 mile swim. It was nice and easy and relaxed. I let myself not focus on my kick and let me legs just go along easy. I also tried some to be breathing out from the start of turning my head into the water. I also got in 2 sets of core workout leaving 3 more to get in before the weekend race.
I was surprised that my max heart rate was 191. The heart rate profile looks kinda funky so I should probably take it with a grain of salt. The belt did seem a little loose when I was done.

Day 58, Week 9, Short Run [4M]
Awesome run. 8:59 pace. Well, Garmin says 8:59, Runkeeper 9:00, and Strava says 8:59. I use RunKeeper as my official record. Either way, it felt great. I did same thing on my 4M on the 25th when I went at 9:24 running in second gear. Today was a combination of having that previous day and I think I listened to a podcast, so just ran real relaxed while focusing on the podcast.
