Workouts

Finally checked this one off this list, first 70.3! Plenty of room for improvement – had a panic attack on the swim that slowed me way down (took about 20 minutes to control my breathing) and then took too long on T1.

Also had to stop for that bathroom that lost me 5 mins on the bike. Wasn’t too proud of the run was hoping for in the 9min/mi or close to it.

Went to Murray Lake to try out the wetsuit and make sure it fit properly. Was a little nerve-wracking (as all open water swims are), but it went well all things considered.

Triceps got a little more sore than usual, but I guess that’s just a byproduct of the suit which also made more buoyant and faster.

For the race (in 3 days) will need to be a a lot better about not zig-zagging while I swim.

Beautiful ride through the foothills with Abby tonight!

Probably my best ride to date, and followed it up with an easy 5k run after. Was pretty pumped to hold near 18mph and got my nutrition right I think with around 550 cals.

Still need to find a way to add another water into the rotation, 2 is not enough for a three hour ride.
