Final MITCS race didn't go so well. I swam the same distance and ran about the same distance, but didn't adjust the bike seat and didn't realize until 5 minutes into it that I couldn't efficiently spin.  I was a full mile slower on the bike!  But no biggie: its just training.  Always fun to see my triathlon friends at these races.

Good Valentine's day swim this AM (2/14): 1,750 yds. Missed more than a week of swimming, but felt good to get back in the water.

2/8/17: Monday swam 1 mile in 29 minutes straight and that felt good. Tuesday biked 40 minutes and ran 30 minutes. Today I rode the stationary bike and warmed up for 15 minutes at moderate-easy pace, then did two 5-min hard sets with 10 minutes in between and an easy warm down. Heading for FL tomorrow so likely won't get much of a w/o in this weekend, but maybe a run outside.

2/2/17- The first MITCS race went well. I swam 24 lengths (12 laps or about 600 yds) in 10 minutes, biked 9.1 miles and ran close to 2.5 (2.4 something) for a total distance of 11.8 miles.  I typically like to take it easy for the first 3 days after a hard race so I haven't done much until today.  This AM I swam 2K yds consisting of 1K warm up (in ~18 minutes), then a set of 3 200 yds coming in on 3:30 with 30 seconds rest. Then did some stroke drills (100 yds) followed by 3 hard 100s on 1:40 with 20 seconds rest with the last one the hardest (3:33).  Then I lifted for 25 minutes. Great start to the day!
