today was a 60/15
we went out for a slower pace. 15 mph for 60 min. and then ran 1.75 miles @08:35
nice brick to end training plan for saturdays race. was very hot and humid already and it was barely 9am.
i have a feeling saturday is going to be a slow painful roasting!
went to hot yoga at journeys today with Suzanne.....holy cow!!! It was humid outside....and that made it even worse inside. our towels were completely soaked in 5 minutes. Class was extremely intense. over 35 people in class which turned the heat up even more!! Whoa!!! Amazing detox!!

last long swim before 70.3
today swim was 60 minutes. so i jumped in and tried for 2100 to see about where i was for my race. finished well under my 60 min. 42 down and backs on the long course pool. went by fairly quickly. i just kept imagining i was swimming from marker to marker. not as fast as i want to be but i am fast enough to finish my race. felt nice and strong thru out. even strokes. ready for saturday. have been watching the water temps and today was 73. so hopefully it will hold out and can wear wetsuit in the ocean!! since we are going out DEEP!!!

brick saturday
120 min ride/20 min run
rode down to coast and back had a headwind going down and tailwind coming back nice 32 miles at 17 mph average so fell a little short of my time goal today (1:51) but it was an afternoon ride and i didnt feel like turning around and going out for anymore. quads were burning nicely all throughout end of this ride. just the way i like. maintaining my gu every 45 minutes and took a gatoraid prime prior to start. took one hammer enduralyte at end of trail or half way thru workout. it says to take 1-3 pills for every hour in the heat. started run and felt good. supposed to go out for 20 minutes but i pushed harder on run bc it felt good. working on form. leaning into it and trying to stay off my heals and bam....08:51 pace for 2 miles with my boys in the afternoon heat! love when workouts work the way you like them to!!! tomorrow is a rest day. week away from 70.3!!! so pumped!!!
***side note.....may not be able to use wet suit as i have for my past triathlons.....water temp today is 78....so should add an extra element of interest!!! ;-) always keeping it interesting~!
