monday monday

am barton springs swim...had a lot of trouble getting my wet suit on...as it was very humid and i was sweating but other than that i had a really great swim...total distance of 2400...2x600 2x400 2x200 negative split each...i didn't negative split the 600's the second was 4 seconds slower...i totally thought it was faster...but sometimes i do forget to use my legs :P finished really strong...and felt good...

home to make waffles for breakfast...and read...and run some errands including taking my wet suit to get patched up at jack and adams...yes there are a few little rips...i know...it's beat up...perhaps next time i will trade a little flexibility for more durability...but we will see...maybe i will have an easier time with it in the winter...

monday evening was specialty run workout...no logan (he just did timberman...) so we were coached by mo...so that was fun...instead of doing drills back and forth on the track we did laps...drills on the straights jogging the curves...then...it was hill repeats...lots of them...12 to be exact...one loop clockwise one loop counter clockwise counted as one repetition...ironman group 6 times through...if i remember correctly it's about 1/2 mile...bad news...it took me a lap and then some...maybe two to really get my legs warmed up...good news...i was able to negative split the whole way through...starting with a 3.08 ending with a 2.52 :) so that was good...tired legs but a good workout overall...

and it's a recovery week...totally stoked about that
