Flew out Wed. afternoon for a conference in Denver. ALTITUDE! I loved it. The conference went really, really well and I had a chance to race on Sunday before we flew back.

Didn't take a day off from running, nor did I rack up swim yards M-W like I had planned. Food was so-so... bad M, T, Th, did well W, F, S, and yesterday was moderate.

M – 8.5 mi run* + 2000 yd swim
T – 9 mi run + 40 min. stair master + 1 mi walk
W – 8.5 mi run + 2200 yd swim
T – 7.5 mi run (DENVER)
F – 8.5 mi run** + 1.7 mi walk (DENVER)
S – 1.5 mi run + 4000 yd swim (DENVER)
S – half marathon race 1:52:23 (DENVER)

*(16 minutes w/u, 1,2,3,4,5,4,3,2,1 min @ 8.0 mph w/ 1 min recoveries @ 6.2 mph, 1,2,3,2,1 min @ 8.2 mph (1 min rec again), 1 min @ 8.4 mph, 0.6 mi c.d.)
** 2.25 mi w/u, quarter miles at 8.0, 8.2, … , 10.0 mph, 1ish mi c/d
Totals 56.6 mi run, 8000 yd swim, some walking


goals for the week:
no food issues! I CAN do it!
get at least a B on my upcoming test (Fri... very difficult maths class)
swim 18k
day off from running and keep total running to 40 miles or less
bike once
