We started off the next 2 a half hard weeks with a bang today!! The morning we started our day at 5:45 on deck because of the western champs swim meet going on at the pool. Since it was short course it was optimal time for an eye opener set. 75 smooth on 1:10 followed by 100 on 1:10 and 10 times through that. I don't know if it was the water or the cereal that I ate this morning but something clicked. I crushed the set holding 1:02's and 1:03's for the 100's. I havent swam super fast in a little while and this was a good "eye opener." Had a long warm up and a fun warm down for 5.3 km. Good swim, I followed that up with a bike ride by myself. Bike riding by yourself can always be interesting, you get to listen to how quite it can be when it is just you and the road. Such a kool thing to actually be able to hear your tire rolling along the slightly rough pavment. It sounds as if it is whispering secrets to the damp pavement. SOOO wicked! Follow that with some eating sleeping and then hammer down to oak bay for a track workout. We stepped it up on the track today adding another 1km repeat. The workout, 3by 1km followed by 2 by 300m 2 times through that whole thing. 7.5km of hard work, almost at 10km can't wait! Not going as strong as I normally do on the tracck, but pushed through and got through it. Bike ride tommorow and a swim after. More shortcourse!!! Should be good, but time for bed...
Here is a picture of where we may be staying in tuscons, we call it the lemmon tree house....
