Monday - April 9 (Steve)

Good stuff from Matt. I especially like the map with elevation on his ride. He finished 6 feet lower than he started. I guess CA really is sinking into the ocean. I hope there's some left in July so I can race the Vineman.

Yesterday I took a rest day. Just spent an hour or so walking around at Wrentham were it was cold but sunny. Lots of good deals on workout gear so I stocked the heck up!

Today was a better day in the water finally, still not nearly as fast as Mike or Stuart but fast enough to make me feel good about it. The big story about my swimming was my backstroke. I don't know where it's coming from but I think I'm figuring it out.
400 Swim
9x50 :60 2 drill - 1 back
6x125 free 1:50 evens faster than odds
6x75 1:15 odds free evens stroke or IM
6x25 2 on :35, 2 on :30, 2 on :25 Free/Stroke
300 kick
100 10Kick-roll
8x12.5 fast
9x50 :55 2 drill - 1 back

At lunch I got a good quick 35 minutes of lifting once again. This time I added some extra leg work just trying to do squats with some 50lb dumb bells in each hand since there's no squat rack.

After work I took the night off from coaching so I got on my bike for 30 minutes and then did 30 minutes of ab work. I managed to figure out what was wrong with my bike when I was riding Saturday and I couldn't get all my gears working. Looks like I've got a busted chain! Guess I've got to drop some more money to replace that. Think I'm going to go with SRAM rather than Shimano this time.

Tomorrow should just be a run as long as I can wake up in the morning.
