Weekend Update.

No, this is not Norm McDonald.

As I was shuffling thru status updates and notifications I read one that said...15 weeks until Ironman and realized holy crap, I am doing the same race as Mary. My how time slips by...Giddy up!

This weekends volume wrapped up the base portion of our training, which consisted of a brick and long swim... reinforcing the proximity and awareness of IM...

The 50/10 brick ended up being pretty solid even though for just about the entire ride I had really heavy legs. I was happy with the run and ended up with almost a negative split of 9's even though I had to come back into a pretty nasty headwind. My legs have still been toast since Show Low...really flat...but hay in the barn is hay in the barn...I'll take it.

Fast forward to today...3,500 swim with Eney Jones...who royally kicked our asses into shape. Swimming is her business and she knows her business...now if only I could lock all her teachings into the steel trap* I'd be all set...hopefully, I'll retain half the next time I get in a pool...Looking for a swim coach? Look no more...duh!

Suppertime!

*Steel trap is a euphemism for my brain.
