Last Saturday ended up with about 4:50 ride time for almost 100 miles, followed by a short run. We started ramping it up a bit about an hour in, and then did 2 solid hours at above Ironman race pace...ouch! Once I hit 2 hours I turned off the gas...but Double D wanted to go another 15 minutes! He continued while Greg and I sat on his wheel. Danny's swim and bike are solid, he's still having some issues with his running injury...but is working through it. He's going to have a great Gulf Coast triathlon in May...and unfortunately, he's in my age group!
On Sunday I had a 90 minute run in HR zone 2, so not super fast...but a very steady effort at about Ironman race pace. I warmed up the first mile around 7:40, and then picked it up for the next 10, then back it down to another 7:40 for a total of 12 miles. I kept it at around 7 flat per mile, and finished with an average of 7:07 including the slower first and last miles. I was please with how the run went considering I had tired legs.
I just bought a new camera to play around with, it's an Olympus 1030 SW. It's a point and shoot that is waterproof to 33 feet, shockproof from 6.6 feet, freezeproof, and it takes 10 megapixel pictures. Below are a few pictures & videos I took in the pool with Double D. I'll try to use it to post while I'm in Arizona.

The Ponte Vedra Y...where I was recently scolded by one of the life guard kids for swimming a full lap underwater. I was informed it was against the rules...I just think he was excited he actually had something to do...poor kid, he just lost his Christmas tip! .JPG)
