112 miles (6:28) on the IM bike course... Not my best ride, but it did not help that I over did it the day before with yardwork. My back and legs were sore from yardwork, but they were very tired from my long bike ride and run. I went out too fast on the first 22 mile leg.

Tough run uphill... easy going down. Ave 10 min pace up 2 miles, 8:15 going down.

Biked to the SHAQ to swim. Focused on drills for 4700 yds in 1:40. 1000 warm-up, 3 sets of 4X50 (1:00), 4X100 (2:00), 2X200 (4:00), and 200 pull. My times for the 50's ave between 38 and 40 sec, 100 ave around 1:21, and 200 ave around 2:48. Cool down was 100 IM. Biked with a 18.3 pace going up to the SHAQ and a 22 pace coming back. Ran 3.2 miles easy for transition. Good workout today!

IM tempo run... 1.5 mile warm-up, 3X1 milers with a 3 min zippy walk between each mile repeat, and 1 mile cool down. Mile splits: 7:41, 7:39, 7:20.  Ran too fast, zippy walks were around a 13:00 pace for quater mile distances. Over-all still a good run even though this was not realistic for IM.

Spin class for 45 min and yoga class for 1 hour.  We were suppose to go to the lake but the high winds killed that workout. We had 4 ft swells on the lake... we would have drowned for sure!!

After a very fast 72 mile (19.4 mph ave) bike loop on the IM course I trugged through these 12 miles at a 9:02 ave. I started out too fast by running with craig at a 8:00 pace. That did me in for all the hills we had to climb in the heat.

Swam 2.2 miles down along the dike and back. Last half mile was very choppy. Swam it in 1:00:08. Would have been faster if it wasn't for that wind!!

Biked 15 miles in the wind!

Ran right after bike. We averaged a 7:50 pace with the wind beating on us!

Ran the bloomington loop from my office. I felt like I was running so slow. My average pace was 8:13. The first mile brought that up, the rest of the run was around 7:50.

Bike later today

After our 55 mile bike we ran a 5K, 4 min zippy walk, and then a 5k back on the IM course. Felt great today!! Maybe I had better nutrition today.
