my times were very fast.

disjointed

Ran the Lakeside Loop tonight-21'14"22

For the most part my runs the last few weeks have felt very disjointed and my legs and hips have felt all out of wack with the rest of my body.

I wanted to run for an hour tonight but opted not too , in part because my running has been off and I plan on swimming in the morning; Wednesday will be my only rest day before my sprint aquathalon on thursday.

Thursday I will be awake 16 hours prior to my race so again my hopes are low for a fast race. In addition I've worked the past 8 days in a row.

gogo

Afterwork-
Ran Lakeside loop 21'06"83
then stopped back home grabbed my bottle and ran the long loop 42'26"86

home

Look what I get to come home to!!!
Wow!!!
Zane wanted my running hat so we let him try it on!

Ok so brought all the gear to work with me;Worked from 730-4ish.
Then headed up to Reid park.

Started off with a 2000 yard swim!!!34'38"18
then quick transition3'09"13( I included the time I jumped out of the pool pulled shorts on over swim suit /shoes/no socks and quick bungees for laces and headed out through locker room and across the lot to the park as my transition time ,no stopping @ Jeep )
lap around park 25'13"47
for a grand total of 1hr3 minutes almost exactly! That was done @ close to race pace maybe 69% of race pace. My swim was spot on but I kept alot in my gas tank and usually swim much harder in open water and with competitors.

The run was weird ,my feet sloshed around in my race shoes as I didnt pull my bungees tight, the bungees allow me to slip my feet in and the shoes are on, just not really tight, my feet were a little swollen from the swim so I felt comfortable with them loose, maybe not a wise idea while trying to run kinda fast.
I never hit a solid groove and just felt knocked down a notch or two and was never really able to focus enough tempo to get really cranking on the run. So a slow average on the run, I was running about 8'20min miles ,I should be able to hold somewhere close to a 7 or 7'30 min mile comfortably.



Well Then I grabbed my back pack out of the jeep and walked back into the pool area and did some steady laps but w/breaks for about 45+minutes.
After that I changed completely out of all my gear put on just the running shorts, extra cushioning road shoes and headed out for yes Another lap....After about 5 minutes I was in a groove and felt like I could run indefinitely.
I had to force myself to stop. That loop was easy and took 26'39'58!

oh boy

Well the first splash and dash race is in like 9 days!!!
Am I ready? Will I have fun?




After work I ran the lakeside loop.
21'14"25
