Day 84, Week 12, Long Swim [2800y]

Good long swim.  PR pace for 1.50-1.75M.  Fifth longest and longest since November.  My new strokes didn't help me got faster, but it might have helped keep up my pace over the long distance and maybe used less energy than with my old strokes.  I'm pleased and am looking forward to the next long one, 2950y.  After that 3100y topping 1.75M

Day 83, Week 12, Short Brick [45min/1.75M]

Got out on the road instead of the trainer today.  I realized if I did the trainer all the time during the week, then I'm only getting out on the road for my long bikes which is every 2 weeks.  I should get out at least once a week.  It'd be better if I did it on the first short brick of the week instead of the second since my long brick is just the day after tomorrow.  Anyway, it was good and included doing the last 1/2 mile run in 2nd gear.  Heart rate was in the 180s and that's okay.

Day 82, Week 12, Short Run/Core [4M/8:30min]

Good run.  Started 2nd gear through 3.5 and finished in 3rd.  Slightly slower than last week, but that's okay.  I'm pleased with 9:10 2nd gear and 8:22 3rd gear.  Yeah!

Day 81, Week 12, Short Brick [45min/1.75M]

Good short brick.  Felt good at the end. I upped the one-leg intervals on the bike to 40sec. My left leg was having a hard time getting through each set.  I'll keep going with 40sec and it'll get there.  My right one did really well.  Not perfect, but pretty good.  I'm surprised 'cause before it's been the opposite, but left leg doing much better.  Oh, well.  I felt good pulling with both legs.

Day 80, Week 12, Swim Drills [1650y]

Swapped out side-kicks (100y each side) and put in 50y long arm dog paddle along side Tarzan.  That let me pull Tarzan back to 25y on the second round.  Total distance went from 1900-->1650y.

Day 79, Week 12, Long Core [34min]

Still feeling tired after yesterday's 13.1M.  Waited until the evening and still then even a little tired.  My thought to rest 5, 7 and 10min between sets was good and I did all 4 sets in one session. Yeah!

Day 78, Week 11, Long Run [13.1M]

Grueling run today.  Not at all like my 12.5M 2 weeks ago.  Heart rate got up high, though never did get into the 200s which is good.  I hope I can keep stretching.  It didn't even occur to me to do the last 1/4 in 2nd gear.
