7-13-2011 thru 7-19-11

Tuesday
Swim- tried to get in 3000. Worked pretty diligently at staying at swimming for the 1.5 hours. Got in almost 3000. Swim was good though. Shelli was there with her stop watches keeping us on track.

Wed.
Ran at lunch. Just ran for 30 minutes.
Tried to dust off the cross bike, but it was going to take a little more than that. No pedals, not rims with a rear cassette, tires somewhere. Needed Erik's help and he ditched me for a long mt bike ride. Rode the mt bike around on town trails instead. Had an epiphany. I think my stem is too short. My hands naturally like to reach a little farther. Hopefully can get that changed soon.

Thursday
Had a meeting at 7. The weather was really threatening to rain so I set up on the trainer. The intervals are good on the trainer, except I did want to practice on the sprint course. Did the prescribed workout.

Friday
Had a huge work day. Didn't get the run done in the am. After work got my cross bike all squared away. New pedals everything. The bike is now ready to roll. Ran and lifted after that. The lifting was just a few things -pushups, tricep dips, some yoga, squats, and lunges. No weight. No jumping etc. Then did some core. Legs felt very very heavy on the run. Feel more beat that when IM training was in full swing. Think the Tour de Bozeman was a little too much.

Sat.
Got up early to swim with the Women Who Tri group that have been training for the sprint race. Art, Carrie, Lawrence and I met them and swam. We swam a little longer to get in the required 40 minutes. So nice to swim in that nasty pond with other people. I think we all had a really good time.
Went and got coffee with them and then did the ride. Carrie bailed on us. Says we go too fast. Rode for 2 hours with Art and Lawrence. We want to do the Team TT this Thursday together if that can be on the training schedule. It is a 20k.
So sore all day. My arms hurt and I feel like an old lady trying to get up from a chair. Those little weights hurt.
Weed wacked our lot. Don't think that helped my arms.

Sun.
Ooops. The 3.5 hour ride became a 5 hour ride. Did the Bangrail Divide. I think around 30 miles. Lots and lots of good climbing and lots of cool tree sections with banked turns. Great ride, beautiful day, good company.

Monday
Going to yoga.
