That looks like a RR to me
Did Friday's race rehearsal today because of work. Longest swim that I have ever done. The swim is going to be a mind game as long swims are BORING.
Race rehearsal write up is posted in the forums. Any comments are appreciated.
Gonna try and get some pool time in at lunch.
@ JA that's some nice work to insert z4 into a long run....not to worry about the lost 6 min
FTP work on the trainer - ugh - about 80 in our basement and muggy outside. Sufferfest about to happen...
Weather for the LR isn't looking much better tomorrow. Will do like last week - probably dial MP paces back 20" and work hard to hold those.
This morning gave my best shot at the 8 12 20 bike. I was on a triner and the watts were light. Long run tomorrow morning.
Got word back from coach P that we do indeed have a full RR swim this friday and a third one in a couple of weeks.
I am probably doing it as an OWS as I need more time in the wetsuit. Will have to come in late as it isn't light here until almost 7am and the lake is 45 min away...
I'll try to hit ows for the RR this wkend....the pool is so BORING it becomes a mental game more than physical
1:30+ this morning on indoor track as there was threats of T-storms. Got in the w/up, 25' @ EZ (a tad quick) and 41' @ MP. Took 5' recovery then started next 25' EZ and right hip started feeling off (320 right turns will do that) so decided the last hour will be tonight - 20' EZ then 40' at MP.
This workout was really tough. I was a few sec / mi fast on the first MP split and 14sec per mi slow on the second. It didnt help that I ran it as 45min sections of MP instead of 40 but that isnt why I didnt it the paces during the 2nd set. It was just too hard for me today. 80 degrees before sunup. Some days are just like that.
Tomorrow is a massive day for me in terms of work. I will either have a great year o ra mediocre year based on how tomorrow plays out. Hoping I will be able to get my swim in.
Lets just hope that scenario that's playing out along the gulf coast over the next few days does NOT correspond with our week there!
@ JU I hear ya on the # of turns when on the track....sometimes i reverse direction every other mile to avoid sore knees/hips
hey guys we're all doing alot of work leading to the thur run...no reason to feel bad about not hitting your zones exactly....only a couple more weeks of hard work then it's TAPER time
2.5 hour run tonight was on dead legs. Been a long week and still have the long swim tomorrow.

Bib #2066 here. I don't know why getting a bib number is exciting, but it is!
39:50 for first 2k. This actually took out both of my times for my HIM RR swims last year. Gave time back between 2k and 3.4k then pushed a bit harder over the last 8 min.
I dont think that I will work that hard in the water on race day.
