5/27 - 6/2

Sun 5/27
- Swim 700 meters non-stop

Did this this morning. I was at 15 minutes after 500m, 18 minutes for 600m, and 20 minutes for 700m.

Mon 5/28
- Brick:
Bike :20
Run :10
w/ a few 20 sec accels in each

I had a good ride of 20 minutes.... some on the trail behind the house (then I went around on streets and up to the other end to avoid the part of the trail that always kills me). Rode for 20 minutes. Then I started out running... but again, could only go for 2 minutes before walking a couple. Then ran 1, and walked the rest.... If I manage to make it to the running portion of the race, I think I'll be in trouble (but just making it that far will be something...).

Tue 5/29
- Swim 800 meters non-stop

I kicked the pool's ass! Well... maybe not, but I had a good swim. I didn't have to do my lame backstroke until the 9th length, and I only did 5 backstroke lengths overall. It took me only 13 minutes to swim 500 meters... and 20 to do the full 800 (that's like I stole 100m from my Sunday time). Afterwards, I was pretty tired.... but I did feel like if I HAD TO hop on a bike *cough* Sunday *cough*... I could. And then I went to Village Inn for dinner.... and I got FREE PIE! Might not have been the best "training food"... but oh well.

Wed 5/30
- Run :15

Decided it would be good to just run without anything else first... to see what I could do. I went on the trail that keeps killing me on the bike. It's kinda rocky in spots, but I think that's good because I'm not sure what the race path will be like. I ran about 5 minutes at the start, and ended up running 13 out of 20 minutes, which I am happy with at this point. (well, should be a lot better, but is better than the last couple times).

Thu 5/31
- TBD

Well, I determined that what I needed most was rest. Didn't do any workout today.

Fri 6/1
- Off

Day off today as well.

Sat 6/2

5/20 - 5/26

Sun 5/20
- Swim #11
500m non-stop

Took me about 13 minutes. Did backstroke lengths here and there.

Mon 5/21
- Brick:
Bike :20
Run :25
w/ 6-8 x (1:00 accel - 1:00 easy)

Went to the gym for this again. Rode 20 minutes, but then only ran for 10. I'm still struggling with running.

Tue 5/22
- Swim #11
500m non-stop

Took around 14 minutes for 500m, but then I swam another 100... 17 minutes total.

Wed 5/23

Didn't do this.... playing "chase Fox around" was too much...

5/13 - 5/19

Sun 5/13
- Swim #10
3 x 200 meter swims
w 15 second rests between 200s

I did it. Had to pause a lot in the middle of laps, and go to the backstroke often, but I did the 600m with 15 second rests. I was very tired after, but this is a good thing. I only have 3 weeks left, so I need to not skip ANY more workouts from here out.

Mon 5/14
- Brick:
Bike :15
Run :30
w/ 6-8 x (1:00 accel - 1:00 easy)

So, I rode the mountain bike (on streets) for about 20 minutes. Then I got back home and started to run... managed to run for 2 minutes before needing to walk a bit. Ran a little bit more and then had to rest again right away. So I just walked for the rest of the time (about 20 minutes total).

Tue 5/15
- Swim #10
3 x 200 meter swims
w 15 second rests between 200s

Did the swim. Took around 17 minutes, with a few backstroke lengths, but not as mant as Sunday.

Wed 5/16
- Combo:
Run :15
Bike :30

Attempted to go run, but was very tired right away. Ran for a minute or two and then just walked home. Later I rode the exercise bike for half an hour.

Thu 5/17
- Bike 1:30 - 1:45

Rode the exercise bike for 1:30.

Fri 5/18

5/6 - 5/12

Sun 5/6
- Swim #9
500 meters non-stop

Had to do some backstroke lengths, and had to pause a bunch of times, but I didn't take any long rests. Took me 14 minutes.

Mon 5/7
- Brick:
Bike :20
Run :25
w/ 5 x (1:00 accel - 1:00 easy)

I started to ride the mountain bike on the trail for this..... but just got very tired very quickly... which is not good at this point. (Same sort of thing happened last year.. but I don't care what I think, I'm going to try the triathlon anyway). Ended up riding for about 10-15 minutes total, and then skipping training for the rest of the week (bad). Only exercise I had was chasing Fox around (or him chasing me).... which is something, but not quite what I need.
