Keep turning

Well, I already talked about my run last Monday.

Tuesday, 4/27, was a swim day. The good folks at Triathlon Geek had me do another "Cooper Test" (max distance in 12 minutes). I'm happy to say I'm in the "very good" category for my age group. Counting the test and the workout, I got about 2900 yards in.

Wednesday, 4/28, was a run "Cooper Test" in the morning. I only managed to be in the "good" category. Wednesday evening was supposed to be a 50 mile bike ride, I only rode for an hour. tired legs from the Monday's hill run (yes, that was a BIG hill) and the morning Cooper Test wiped me out.

Thursday, 4/29, I took an off day.

Friday, 5/1, was a sprint run day at the track.

Saturday, 5/2, was a swim ladder day, about 3100 yards.

Sunday, 5/3, was the main workout for the week: a (15 mile ride + 2 mile run) x 3 triple brick. Thanks Heidi for giving me Sunday afternoon.

Apart from Monday's run, the true highlight of the weekend was spending some time Saturday watching UHD as they were rebroadcasting past IM-Kona events. I remember watching these as a kid. From the Julie Moss crawl to Mark Allen vs. Dave Scott, I was thinking those people must be nuts -- nobody can do those distances. Now I can't wait to be one of those people.

I remember the various waves of emotion during the last mile of my first marathon. I can only wonder what emotions will be going through my mind during mile 140. Again, I can't wait to find out.
