PM - Trainer ride - had originally planned to do some time trial practice on the course in Nocatee but the rain was steady and roads were wet so I ended up on the trainer, but that's okay b/c I had a great workout anyways. I did a 20 min warm up - nice and easy and then went into my first 15 min interval - i had my tri bike on the trainer so I got into position and went hard - increasing intensity every 2-3 minutes. With 1min to go, my legs were burning but stayed on it and finished strong - HR was around 173 max - but stayed around 160 for majority of interval 1. Then did 5 min recovery spin and then hit it again for 15 minutes on - this time I stayed steady with a little higher cadence but my HR was instantly higher - spun hard and fast (95-105rpm) for the entire 15 min. Then did quick CD spin recovery and then jumped out for a quick t-run. I just wanted to do my 2.3mile loop -- started off and felt pretty good - decided to as hard / fast as possible for first 10min - hit mile 1 at 6:30 then kept pace up for next 3:30 then just backed off and jogged rest of loop - total run was only a little over 16 min. Felt good to shake out the legs.

Total ride time = 1hr
Total run time = 16 min

* Good quick workout -- not much fluff - did the work and got it done. Its amazing how much faster i feel running when I don't throw 4hrs of riding in front of it!

AM - Brick - Long ride + t-run
Started early at about 6:45 (wanted to be on the road by 630, but coordinating too many people makes that about impossible). The group started off with me, Stephanator, RadPop, DocLuv, Joe Barton, Dave, & Greg Keller. We headed down PV Blvd to do a loop through Palm Valley (the old Saturday lodge ride route) at an ez pace (mostly 16-18 mph). We were just chatting and not riding hard at all - kind of an extended warmup to get ready for the group ride. Then we met up with the group ride - couple of weird things - my bottle flew out of my rear mount TWICE and me and Rad had to bridge up - that took a lot of energy, but when we finally got on the group, we sat in for a couple of minutes and then the attacks started. Curtis, Burke, and Rad were off the front on the second spoke, so I bridged up and then we sat up for a second and then Kopp came FLYING by us, I chased and we ended up in a breakaway with me, Jeff, Karel, Rad, and Steve Petit. I was thinking that Curtis and Burke were going to either bridge up or they would drag the whole group up to us. But we stayed away for the whole ride. Pulls were between 27 - 30 mph for about 30secs to 1min. Definitely a hard effort. After the grouper, me and Rad headed down to the Gate Station with Shawn "Hercules" Francis. Mellow 20-22 mph then refueled and headed back. On the way back we had a solid group of me, Rad, Burke, Hercules, & Tony M. - solid 24 -26 mph pace made that part go by quick. (Total ride time = ~4hrs) After I got back to the house I did my t-run, which felt ok - not great, but got it done ~26min. I need to map that out so I know the distance. Was a GREAT day of training!!

Ride time = 4hrs
Run time = 26 min

a.m. SWIM at Brooks

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.

Bike time = ~1:35 / 35 miles
Run time = ~ 23min

P.M. - County line Group ride - started ride in the rain / wind but cleared up in Nocatee. Very small group - 5people then dropped to 4, then held steady effort at bridge back to the lodge - rode with 1 other guy. Total ride time was ~1:35 / 35 miles
Then did 20 min t-run ez pace. Felt pretty good on the run; especially considering the effort on the bike.
