Road Ride Zone 2

[Saturday, February 14, 2015]

Today's scheduled workout was Bike 1:15 Z2.

I rode for about 1:25 without a HR monitor.

I wasn't looking forward to heading out for the ride. I don't know if it's the pressure I feel over everything I want to accomplish this weekend or if I'm tired. This is another sign to keep an eye on my energy level.

I didn't intend to go too long on the ride. I was on my way back and saw that I was going to come up short by about 10 minutes when I was at 14th and Garrison. So, I took a ride on the path along the light rail and ended up making my way to 6th and Union.

Masters Swim

[Friday, February 13, 2015]

Today's scheduled workout was 1600 yd Swim.

I got to practice all four strokes today. I got some coaching on how to do butterfly, breast and back. This workout was hard. I'm glad that I didn't have a run to do afterwards.

Even the warmup was hard. It was 3 X 100; on 25 and 75 breathe every five. The first 25 was not a problem. The other 75's and 25's were quite challenging to make it just breathing every five. It was actually almost scary.

Multi #6 (Brick)

[Wednesday, February 11, 2015]

Today's scheduled workout was Bike 0:30 Z2 into a run 0:15 Z2.

I rode for 0:30 and ran for 0:15 without a HR monitor. The snow what we got last night melted and I was able to ride outside. I'm glad that the workouts have switched to the Brick and moved the run away from the Friday swim workout.

Multi #4

[Tuesday, February 10, 2015]

Today's scheduled workout was 1600 swim, 0:30 Z2 Run.

I did the masters swim. My favorite set today was 2 X (50 fast with fins / 100 easy with fins).

I think I ran 0:30 without a HR monitor. I had forgotten exactly when I headed out. I did the run down Kipling and back up. I also got a bit of hill work in a neighborhood that I used as a turn around.

As always, a great start to the day!

Multi #4

[Friday, February 6, 2015]

The scheduled workout today was a 1600 straight swim and 0:30 Run Z2.

I swam the masters workout and was probably around 2000 m.

I ran about 0:30 without a HR monitor.

I though I was swimming in the slowest lane, but I found out I was in lane 3 after the workout was over. I hung on pretty well for the whole workout. I just had to skip a couple of 100's. Next Green Mountain swim I will use Lane 2.
