9.21 - 9.27 Schedule

Well, I'm going on vacation, so I'm only going to put stuff for monday and tuesday. Rest of the week will be a free for all (maybe golfing, maybe running, maybe whatever).

monday - strength training
did this at lunchtime. For some reason I'm pretty good about getting this done... I need to keep at this over the winter
tuesday - swim 1:00, run :45

not sure if I went swimming or running on that tuesday. I did go for one run while in Vermont, bit over 30 minutes at 10 min./mi. Also, we played golf a couple times, which is something at least. Blew my diet while there, returned +6 pounds or so.

Anthem Reverse Sprint

I did the Anthem sprint on Saturday morning... was a fun race, and it was my best overall so far I think. This was a true reverse, so the run was first. The mass-start was pretty cool, I think it pushed me to try not to walk at all. After a couple minutes of running around 8 min miles, I decided I'd try to stay under 9 for the first mile, then under 10 for the second and under 11 for the third. I managed the first mile fine and just kept going... I only ended up walking twice, and I kept those to only 20 seconds or so. Finished the run at 27 minutes, which I think is a record for me... so that's pretty cool.

The bike was harder than I expected... I thought it was going to be more flat, but there is a bit of a hill there. Looks like it was about 150 ft up and down x3 laps. Ended up averaging 16.4 mph, I'm happy with that. On the second lap, I really tried to work on the uphill parts, but I think on the third lap I was just spent.

The swim was okay, but I screwed up a bit. I forgot to take off my number, so I could feel it dragging behind me the whole time. I doubt that really affected my time much at all, but it was irritating. Plus the whole passing / congestion was a mess in the pool. I clocked somebody once with the back of my hand (think it hurt me more than them), and had a hard time getting past a couple people. I think I prefer the open water swims, but those are scary too (kicks to the head at the beginning, etc). Managed to keep the swim to under 10 minutes, so I'm happy with that too.

Of course, after the race I went out to San Diego to meet some friends, and drank too much, then went to Laguna Beach and drank too much again. Now why I decided to go and make myself feel terrible after making myself feel really great on Saturday, I don't know.

Rode for 1:13 at lunchtime. Was really tired/sluggish after a while, but when I got all the way home I noticed that I had a flat back tire... not sure where that happened exactly... may have contributed. I went 14.9 miles, for an avg speed of 12.1 mph. Looks like it was mostly downhill on the way out, so I just went too far (turned around at 28 mins)... and had more work to do to get back.
