Back At It

Finally! 15 miles. Not technically a long run, but it felt long! Met with the SDR peeps at Lake Miramar on Sunday morning and banged out 3 laps, averaging 7:22. There were some rough patches, but I found my stride towards the end of each lap. Starting back up after a quick pitstop for water and electrolytes was not the most fun thing. Good company made the run bearable.

1/2 hour on the CompuTrainer in the evening (~30 min.) Spin Scan is still not where I need it to be. It's remarkable how much quicker you can pedal when you lift and thrust forward just before reaching the top of each cycle. It's just tough to maintain it as it uses different muscles. Working on it...

Decisions

Ok, so the whole interval thing didn't work out all that well last night. I hit up a friend and he said he was up at a conference, so I bagged the intervals for a 5-mile tempo run down at the Waterfront. It was good to catch up with some training buds and grab some $1.50 tacos and Red Trolley.

Have to figure out whether to do the Weds run before JCC masters swim or get out on the bike at the lake. Leaning towards the lake as my legs are still struggling to recover from Chicago. I don't know that any running between now and Sunday will help anything.

Also, seriously considering a CompuTrainer. Looks like an awesome training tool. If we have to be cooped up for the winter, might as well take advantage of the time - and technology - and get ready to make a run at a Kona spot next year!

Hello World

Time for a quick shout!

It's Tuesday and Soma Triathlon is this Sunday. A good group of SDR / TCSD athletes are making the trip to Tempe. We're traveling on Friday and will be staying at the Courtyard Marriott downtown. Bike check and course preview on Sat (and maybe a quick dip in Tempe Town Lake?).

Tonight will be some short intervals (6x400), easy run and masters swim at JCC on Weds and an easy ride at Miramar on Thurs.
