a.m. - Swim at Brooks
* Did 3 x 10 min sessions today - was feeling kind of tired, so this was a 'relaxing' workout. Nothing very hard - just focused on stroke technique. Used paddles / buoy for last 10min.
Total time = 35 min
pm. - Group ride
* Did County Line ride - ended up being a great ride - while going up the bridge I was able to get in a small break with Curtis, Tom, and Walter. Figured that it would get caught once the big group started working together in Nocatee but the four of us started working together and put in some good solid efforts. At the turn around for spoke 1 - we had about a 30-45 second gap! We kept on pushing hard and taking equal pulls around 26-28 mph. Since it is starting to get darker earlier - we only did spoke 1 & 3 so we kept it strong through the roundabout and just continued to open the gap. Luckily, once we hit the ramp and started to head back to the bridge - we had a bit of a tail wind. This helped us keep our speed and still get in some recovery. I could tell at this point that we were going to try to stay away ALL the way back. Hit the bridge and got up it quick but didn't kill it - saved some for the backside and we were doing 28-30 all the way to the Mickler's / 210 roundabout. At this point I looked back and couldn't see the group at all - either they just gave up or we were that far ahead. Down the Blvd. we still had a little tailwind so it was steady at about 26-28 with good 30-45 sec pulls. Right before the s-curve, Curtis starts picking it up and gets us to about 31mph and at this point I just can't hold his wheel - after about 10 secs I start to get gapped and then next thing I know i'm rolling 22 mph - luckily Walter was feeling it too - so we recovered from that and just kept it rolling back the Lodge. We maintained our comfortable 26-28mph while Tom and Curtis pulled away at 30..... good thing was that we still never got caught by the main group..... by the end of the ride we waited to see how far back they were and it was close to 2min that we put on them ...... for only a 30mile ride!

PM - Group ride (with 4x5min INTERVALS)
* Did Countly Line Grouper - really windy on way out (was going 34-35 mph by the s-curve!) So we had rough HEADWIND coming back. I did 4 x 5min efforts (all at high zone 4 - 180 bpm) then for the final surge - it was me, Radd, and C.Long off the front at the s-curve - struggled to hold 24 mph into the wind but we stayed away! Was a good ride and ended up with getting my 'work' done - total time 1:35 for 34.7 miles.

PM - Swim & Run
* Swim at Brooks - did 200 wu ( 100ez / 100 kick) then did 4x400 (with first 100 at very hard effort then settled in for 300) - was trying to simulate race situation where there will be hard effort to first buoy. Felt pretty good on those efforts (5:39 [1:10] ; 5:42 [1:16] ; 5:42 [1:19] ; 5:52 [1:20] ) -- then i did 5 min cd with pull buoy / paddles.
Total swim time = ~ 43 min
* After the swim I went out for a tempo run around the office park by the gym - ran on the sidewalk and did 2 miles WU (7:42 ; 7:44) then did 2 miles @ tempo pace (7:02 ; 6:43 ) - it started pouring rain right when I was starting the first mile so it kind of threw off my pace a bit but I settled in for the second mile. After that I did a mile CD - 9min (jog pace).

AM - Swim at Brooks
* Got to pool around 6:15 - feeling fatigued - - probably from training & not getting enough sleep - even though was in bed by 1030 pm. Tossed and turned all night - must've been that beer I had with dinner.
Anyways, so i did 2 x1000 yds with 5 min CD - skipped any warmup b/c water was cold and I wanted to keep moving - set 1 @ 16:17.07 ; 2min recovery ; set 2 @ 16:10.96 ; then 5 min cd with paddles / buoy.
Total time = 41 min / ~2400yds
PM - group ride - County line
* Got in about a 15min warmup then met up with group and did the Nocatee loop. Felt pretty good out there. A couple of sections had some stiff headwinds but overall it was a good ride. Right at about 40 miles total for 2hrs (including wu and cd).
I tried to run afterwards but my heel is still a little raw and I decided to not irritate it so that I could have a good trail run tonight. I'll do my brick on Thursday after I do my TT practice in Nocatee.

Quick 15min swim - open water - ez
*Tour De Pain was going on so kind of cool to see a bunch of people running while I was swimming. It started getting dark so I just swam down to 16th Ave and then jogged back on the beach. Just a quick little swim to loosen up. Felt good.

Did about 300 WU - some ez free and some kicks; then did 500-400-300-200-100 at increasing pace (7:39, 5:57, 4:36, 2:56, 1:23) then did 5min CD with paddles/buoy.
Total time 40min
PM - Group ride - County Line Ride
Finally got to ride this ride without any rain - seems like its been a really long time. Group started out big - 15-20 people. Never got too fast and it stayed together most of the time. I didn't feel like i had any power in my legs at all - I could definitely feel my hard run from last nite. Hips were really tight and whenever i got down I could feel some resistance in that area. Just need to stretch out better before and after these workouts. Other than that it was a good ride - didn't go too hard anywhere except at the end - but had to dodge a stopped car on the Boulevard and rode through the wet grass - was kinda crazy - luckily I didn't bust my ass! RadPop was there too - I think he's liking these Beach rides - glad to see him out riding again. He's a great training partner.
After the ride - did a quick 20min t-run through the neighborhood. Felt good - just went ez and towards the end of the run I felt my Hr was nice and low and my legs were just on cruise control.

Swim at Brooks
Did 4 x 10 min - stroke work - nothing fast - just consistent laps around tpace+5
Last set with paddles / buoy
~ 45 min total
lunchtime -
Stretching ; Core workout with some weights
~ 30 minutes
p.m.
County Line group ride
Kinda cold - had arm / knee warmers on the whole time
Nice tailwind on way out which meant rough headwind on way back. Legs were aching when I tried to push hard, so I kept the cadence somewhat high and didn't do too much hard work. C Long was doing 3min on/off intervals so we let him do most of the work! We rode through Nocatee due to construction on Roscoe. Fun ride - got in around 35 miles / ~1hr40min. Avg HR 140's.

1-19-09 thru 1-25-09
So, things have been crazy at work. Long and stressful hours just didn't seem to motivate me to train - felt more like drinking beers more than anything. But I guess its alright - I kinda decided to use this past week as a recovery week. Not that I was in desperate need of rest - but it mentally makes me feel better about not training hard.

Tuesday 1.20.09 -
40 min run with the dawg on the Golf Course (really cold btw - in the 30's)

Thursday 1.22.09 -
Nothing - another late night at work - chilled at home
Friday 1.23.09 -
Got up super early 4am with Steph (she had early flight to Houston) so I hit the pool - did 3 x 10min sessions - nothing fast - just felt good to be in water for first time in over a week
Then did 30min of core work / stretching
Saturday 1.24.09 -
3-1/2 hrs mtb
Rode from home to Hanna - met up Randy Hagins - did about 5-1/2 laps then cruised home. Good saddle time - I did put in a couple of accelerations but was wanting to check pacing in prep for the 6hr race 2.21.09
