Swim and Run Today

Not an exciting day....I went to work...

But first, I swam and lifted, then decided to run in the record breaking heat again. There is a method to my madness though. While it's record breaking now, it will be normal in a few weeks and that is when a lot of the races start. So, this is a good acclimation for that heat that is coming up.

Morning:

Swim / Lift chest and tris
750 yds (250 warm up, 4 x 100, 150 cool down), 14:16, Overall avg 1:54/100 yd

Slow, but at least I'm not getting slower. I'm consistently slow.

Afternoon:

Run
Plan - 5 mi
Actual, 5.02, 44:21, 8:50/mi, AHR-163

Another ridiculously hot run. Felt a little bad towards the end, so I had to slow waaaay down. But, I finished no problem and the legs felt good so I think I'm plenty ready for Saturday. The real test is going to be the Olympic distance in a week and a half!
