Early morning run with Craig, John, Jake, and Brian. Ran the virgin river trail and looped back through the ranches. Mostly flat except for a mile climb out of the ranches. Craig and Jake pushed the pace. Splits: 7:36, 7:23, 7:10, 7:17, 7:13, 7:28 (hill), 7:18, 7:18, and 7:31(0.3 mile) 7:21 ave pace

This evening I swam 100 IM, 10x100 on 2:00, 10x50 on 1:00, 4x75 (kick, pull, free), and 200 cool down. Swam 100 at 1:28 and 50 at 40sec. Good return to the pool in a long time.

Treadmill Intervals: 2 x (600m + 800m + 1000m)

2 mile warm-up (7:30 pace)
2x200 [200 easy, 200 (6:00), 200 easy, 200 (6:00), 200 easy]
1 mile (7:30)
2X of:
600 @ 6:00 pace (10 mph)
800 @ 6:15 pace (9.6 mph)
1000 @ 6:25 pace (9.3 mph)
1 mile cool down

Recovery between intervals was the same time duration of each speed interval. For example 600 was 2:12 recovery, 800 was 3:06, and 1000 was 4:00. The extra mile before my intervals was a visitor that stopped by my treadmill to talk to me right when I was getting ready to go into my first 600. I wanted to tell him to leaving me alone, can't you see I'm working out!? But I was nice and talked to him for a few minutes. I ended up averaging a 7:30 pace during the entire workout... That was lucky! Why do treadmill 6:00 pace seem harder than actually running that exact pace on the track? I wanted to throw-up after each interval!!

Ran tough today... Craig and John set the pace and I foolishly followed. Beside my guts falling out during mile 8, not a bad run. splits: 7:15, 6:45, 7:01, 6:47, 6:49, 7:01, 7:15, 7:14 (ave 7:01 pace)

Evening swim at the lake. 1 mile with no wetsuit, but did it all with fins for leg work. Fun stuff!!

Rowing down the Green river... lots of head wind and slow moving water.

Rowing down the Green river... less wind and slow moving water. The kids had a blast!
