i got in 2 shorter workouts today. i started this morning with a 45min bike on the trainer. the goal was to maintain a steady HR while moving thru the different gears. The ride was meant to serve as a recovery ride and it felt good overall.
today at lunch was a 27min swim. i got in 1500m with a 600m warm, a progressive swim of 450m (i started w/ 2 hard strokes on the 1st 25m and then every 25m added an addl heavy stroke until i ended with a hard 25m), 4x75m (25 hard, 25 easy, 25kick w/ :10 RI) and closed w/ 150m cool. the progressive swim was a ball buster. it starts out super easy but by the tailend your body is screaming for a longer rest.
tomorrow i will get in a wetsuit swim at barton springs and then settle in for some college football. sunday morning is my key workout. i hope to simulate the race in conroe with a 2:45 ride followed by a 90min run. i also plan to tailor my nutrition this weekend to mirror race week. my main goal is to push the bike at a good pace with some hard intervals mixed in and then average 7:30min miles during the long run. we shall see!!!!
