So on Monday I drove with my mom and Fox out to Canyon de Chelly, then on up through Four Corners and to Durango. Tuesday we rode the steam train from Durango to Silverton and back, and then drove back to Flagstaff. These were a couple days of long riding, and bad eating and drinking (soda is bad).
Wednesday I got the day to relax and rest up (Fox at school and mom took a shuttle down to the airport)... so I did mostly nothing. Later in the day I started feeling like I was wasting too much, so I went for a swim. I only did 500m in around 20 minutes (was talking for much of this time... sorta messed with what little rhythm I had).
Right now I'm looking at upcoming events to get something else on the schedule to go for. I'm thinking of doing the Los Alamos triathlon on 8/15. I'm already registered for the MXT offroad triathlon in Moab on 9/7, so that is good (sounds fun to do a sprint offroader). Anyway, I don't have an official plan for this week, but will need to get off my ass.
Okay, now I signed up for the Los Alamos race... sprint tri in 3 weeks (bike, swim, run oddly). So, now back to my scheduled training. Thursday I didn't do anything, but Friday I went for a brick. Biked for 30 minutes, averaging 13.6 mph, and hr of 149. Then I started to run, but felt a twinge in my heel after a couple minutes, so decided to stop. Only ran and walked for 6 and a half minutes.
Today (sat), I went for a swim at the outdoor pool at FAC east for the first time. Was a little weird doing laps with so many other people around, but I did it anyway. I did 8x100 and then 8x50. I didn't keep track of the total time, but I was resting 30s between 100s and 15s between 50s. I'm debating going for a mountain bike ride later today too. Tomorrow I have practice, but I think I will try to go for a longer ride in the morning... I'm thinking about going down Townsend-Winona road a bit.
Later saturday - went for a mountain bike ride on my usual track. From behind my house to pipeline, to lower oldham to buffalo park. This time it took me 56 minutes, with am average hr of 157. I did stop a couple times for phone calls though. I really like the downhill sections, dodging rocks and trees... but uphill on the mountain bike is tough. I need to do more practicing before the sept. offroad race.
Sunday I went for a ride out to Winona, 26 miles round trip. Got rained on on the way back. Took 2:18, a 11.3 mph avg. Average hr was 150.
