16 Weeks to go - 2/22 - 2/28


Sunday - Easy Zone 2 run. 5.07 miles, Time - 59:44, Pace - 11:46, HR - 136. Easy is good, right?
Monday - I did get the easy 1000 swim in, actually I swam 1500. About a 2:18 pace.
Tuesday - Surgery day, I was at the hospital at 7am and I did not leave until Wednesday at 5am. Long day but the surgery went very very well.
Wednesday - Very little sleep, but I took Deb for a run, she really needed it. We went easy and actually got 4 miles in. Distance 4.09, Time - 53:17, Pace - 13:01, HR 145.
Thursday - I was off work and wasn't meeting Deb until later that afternoon. I had finally gotten some sleep and it was so nice out that I went for a bike ride instead of the 60 minute trainer ride. Distance 19.72 miles, Time - 1:11:36, Pace - 16.5mph, HR - 133 (low zone 2)

Friday & Saturday - My ragnar runs. I'm actually pretty happy with my pace, it's the fastest I've run since before going into the boot. Funny since our team name was Chasing Booty.

Leg 1 - 4:56PM - It was hot and this was a very hilly 5.58 miles. I felt like crap the whole time. Distance 5.58 miles, Time - 52:51, Pace - 9:28, HR 167 (zone 4)(Max pace 6:41, Max HR 197)

Leg 2 - While this was my longest leg, and also done in the dark (5am) while coming off a night of drinking it was probably my most enjoyable. It was hard and I had a 2 mile hill at the end. Distance - 8.87 miles, Time - 1:25:20, Pace - 9:37, HR - 164 (zone 4) (Max Pace - 6:54, Max HR - 216)

Leg 3 - So this was suppose to be a 2.1 mile leg, but they changed it at the last minute. It was very hot (3:36pm), and the sun was beating down on me. Distance 2.93 miles, Time - 26:21, Pace - 8:59, HR - 165 (zone 4) (Max Pace - 6:15, Max HR - 179)

Then it was time for beer, and more beer and more beer. We won our division of Mixed Masters (everyone over 40) (ok there were only 2 teams, but so what). We also won the Far Out fashion award (see attached picture). So, while I ran these legs I ran them dressed as a pirate ARRRRGGGGG!!!!
