6 Weeks to Bryce

Run: 13 miles. Bike: 50 miles, plus 1 hour spin. Swim: 3600 m (2.25 miles). Other: 1 hour

Monday: I rode by myself, but I forget what I did and how fast. I think I rode 18 miles, to the top of the Sand Hollow hill, down it, back up it and home. No idea what pace was but I do remember feeling lethargic.

Tuesday: Track workout. 2 x 200s (:48, :51), 3 x 800s (3:19, 3:14, 3:16), 2 x 200 (:47, :49). Felt good and didn't work too hard.

Wednesday:
  • 1 hour spin.
  • 1000 m swim in a choppy lake with wind. 32 minutes. Wow! it was hard, but after I hit the turn around, I realized I could do it without drowning, it was just slower and harder.
Thursday: Futsol game. I was supposed to run as well, but didn't get it in. A good workout at futsol, though.

Friday: Swim, bike, run at the insane hour of 6:30 in the am. Wanted to practice transitions, which sucked.
  • 1100 m swim (or something like that) 28 minutes.Water was perfect. And I felt great! I picked up the pace a bit and tried to actually get my heart rate going a bit. I still felt fine when I was done, but felt like I went faster.
  • 8-mile ride. Computer wasn't working, but just went fast enough to get a good feel for riding after swimming.
  • 1/2 mile run. Just wanted to get the feel.
Saturday: Utah Summer Games Triathlon (Olympic Distance). 2:45:48.
Swim: 37:00. With goggle malfunctions
T1: 2:42. Gotta work on this one.
Bike: 1:15:47 (18.8 mph). In the rain.
T2: 1:15. Had to fix a band-aid.
Run: 49:03. My watch said 48:01 (7:45 miles) and I like that time better.

10th woman overall, 7th Utah woman and 3rd in my age-group.
Full race report to follow.
