Aquaman Strikes Again!

Today we had a 7:00 am 30 minute swim followed closely by a 25 minute run. Our swim was highly interrupted by a chatty lady swimmer and a tree catching on fire in which the fire department had to show up and put out the lame tree fire. At any rate, it wasn't our best and most focused swim due to the constant break up and interruptions, but we made it nonetheless and got it in. I then hustled home to get in my 25 minute run while I was still warm and loose from the swim. I actually had a pretty good run and went the whole way but really concentrated on not going out fast and pacing myself in order to conserve energy and strength toward the end. Training is coming along nicely and my body seems to be responding well. It's become quite enjoyable - especially the biking.

Tough Schedule

The schedule for today called for us to do all 3 disciplines. We're basically at the midway point in our training and this is one of the toughest training days that we have on our calendar. This morning Troy and I woke up early to get our swim and run out of the way before the searing heat rolled in. The high today is supposed to reach in the upper 90's so we wanted to get the grueling stuff out of the way before church.

We met at the pool this morning for our morning 30 minute swim in which Troy swam 1100 yards and I went 1500. It was a pleasant but tiring swim as both of us were dragging a bit this morning. Then after we were done we hurried home to get on the running shoes in order to get in our allotted 20 minutes of road work. It proved to be though because even at 8:00 am it was already extremely hot. We made it through however and are looking forward to tonight's 40 minute ride.
