still did not do this Swim 20k
no, with one swim 6k
yes (priority is the long swim workout over the 20k total)
keep mileage under 45 for the week!
yes by one!!! ha! and run fast on Saturday
yes but see below (I'm going to define "fast" here as faster than I did on this course last year, will have to dig up the actual time).
This is a super busy week for me at school... maths test Friday
went well , advisor needs things from me, bleh
got stuff done.
Eating was so-so. Had one bad day (Thursday... thus the lots of miles Friday when the intent had been a short run to get ready to race), which is the first in awhile (aside from some small issues). Still feeling ok overall about it.

The race was a small campus thing but was very poorly organized from the getgo, and then they had to change the course due to a gas leak. I ran 26:45 fast, but have no idea how far it was (I am guessing about 4 miles) nor placing, as they sent different people in different directions so about half of us ran 4 miles and the other half ran 3 ish, but finished in the same time. It was a mess... supposed to be a 5k and a 10k. Anyway, I was disappointed but am over it.
I am ok with not hitting the 20k swim because I took a day off. Days off are harder than going to the pool :-) and my body needed some rest.
I did sign up for the Portland Bridges swim, which is 11 miles... and 11 bridges.
Goals this week
buy bike shoes
swim 20k with a long swim of 7000 yds (4500 done this morning)
keep running mileage at or under 50
