Tuesday
Did the long swim. Can't really say much about it. Felt good. Always happy to go a little further on the swim.
Wed.
Skipped the run because I felt like I was up all night coughing. Also had a busy work day and didn't have time to leave during the day.
Did the ride on the rollers. It was windy out and seemed like it was going to rain. Wanted to keep my lungs healthy. Intervals on the rollers seems almost more effective anyway. Otherwise I feel like I just go back and forth on a road somewhere outside. I felt strong on the ride. Hip/butt didn't hurt.
Thursday
Masters swim. Stayed for almost the whole workout. Did lots of other strokes. My back was tired the next day, but it felt good to use other muscles. Definitely feel my swim endurance has improved.
Friday
Raining. Ran on the treamill for 40 minutes. Tried to stay off my feet today. Resting up for the big weekend.
Sat.
Had to wait until noon for the pool to open to do the swim. The water at the pool felt really warm. I think they lowered it for the meet last weekend and raised it again. Felt like it took some life out of me. Got the workout done, but was more spent from it than I have been.
Run- Ran 2:30 after eating some lunch and sitting around for a while. Felt good for most of it. Kind of tired in general after the swim. I want to talk more about run nutrition. Should I carry some food with me or rely on aid stations? Ran up and down lots of hills. The best you can do in Bozeman. Incorporated some trails and roads. The weather cleared up in the late afternoon. It was nice.
Sun.
Went to YNP with Art, Amy C, and Erik. Rode from Mammoth to Old Faithful and back. Ride was 103 miles and took almost exactly 6 hours of ride time. We rode pretty hard. Had an average of 19.9 on the way home. It was more downhill that way. Lots of ups and downs though. Good for CDA. Saw a mama grizzly and 2 cubs and a bison on the road with her baby. The weather was great. Great Great day!!!! Did a 30 minute post ride run. Legs and body feeling especially tired after this weekend. May need some recovery time. Feeling a little beat up. Also, what are your thoughts on rear cassette size for CDA?
