thursday... still climbing

wednesday:
AM - Swim 3000 yards
Lunch - weights(upperbody)
PM - Easy 4 mile run

I did the run yesterday in my racing flats with my new lace configuration. I am using "easy laces" with lace locks. it works great. I also got some anti blister/heat powder from trisports.com. works great. my feet felt really good after running with no socks. i will be using this same setup at saturdays race.

Today (thursday):
AM - swim 2200 yards
lunch - 20 min of stretching
PM - 90 min/26 mile ride

the ride today was a breakthrough... i felt awesome. i dont know if it was because it was warm or what, but i powered through all the climbs and never got that lactate burning sensation in quads. it caught my off guard how good i felt. i was hammering big gears for the last 10 miles i could of kept going. i was bummed that the sun was setting and i couldn't keep going. it was odd because when i was driving home from work i felt really tired and just wanted to get home and take a nap. this felt like one of best rides i have had so far and i can't wait to ride again. i guess putting in all these miles on the roads and trails is starting to show signs of paying off.

let's race already!
