My legs felt tired this morning from my workouts this weekend.  I did not push the bike too hard but kept things at a steady pace. 

I hurt my back a little yesterday doing some dental work on kids so I did not sleep well.  I wanted to do a swim/run but I only got the run in.  I will do the swim later this evening.  My legs felt really good this morning and I felt fast.  I am not doing as much this week but I am going to do my runs at a slightly faster pace until next week when I am in complete taper mode.

Started the morning with a swim at the aquatic center and then did 2 laps around the Island.

Tried to take it easy with short bursts of speed.  Race is in about 10 days!

Did 5 miles.  Miles 1, 3, 5 were at a tempo pace and miles 2,4 were pretty much all out speed.  Last fast run with any major distance until after the race next week.

I did a lake swim with Rhett this morning in the area where our triathlon will be.  It was an open water swim so it was good to get the pre-race jitters out.  The swim went well and it was a real confidence booster for me to get out in the open water and get a swim in that will be the race distance. 

Followed the swim with a 26 mile ride that was very comfortable.  We did 1 lap around the race course and that was the last time I will ride that until race day. 

It was a beautiful morning and I am hoping for more of the same come next week!

Did the last long run before the race.  I tried to take it easy on the 10 mile run and not push hard at all.  It was really windy this morning.  I sure am hoping it is not windy on race day.
