...the day after River Run...

I was planning on going to a triathlon down in Gainesville, but the weather report said it would be low 30's at 8 am!! I wasn't too hip on getting out of the water, taking off my wetsuit, jumping on my bike, and hauling ass in windy 30 degree weather...so I bailed.

Instead I did an hour swim in my wetsuit with Gregg...then rode 2.5-3 hours easy with Gregg, Danny, and Jennifer...then jumped off for an easy 20 minute run. My legs were still pretty sore from the day before, so it's probably a good thing that I didn't race hard again.

Next week starts the last hard 3 week block before I taper for Ironman Arizona. I'll be doing more race pace specific training...and it all begins with a 7 & 7 (Lyndon loves these) on Saturday...7 hour bike ride into a 7 mile run, it should be fun. The next day's long run is scaled back a bit, and is 2:15 for about 16-17 miles...

...only 5 more weeks to Arizona...
